Smith, who won the leadership of the United Conservative Party on Thursday, says she wanted to run in a rural seat because she thinks rural issues need better representation at the highest level of government.

says she will seek the southeastern seat of Brooks-Medicine Hat in a byelection, even though she doesn’t live in the area.

The move was expected after Brooks-Medicine Hat legislature member Michaela Frey, who had earlier signaled she did not intend to run in the 2023 provincial election, resigned her seat.

All the dipper socialists comments hahaha

Who pays for her to travel to a different district? Speacially as often as she says she will? Should be her own dime.

Kenney is gay and Smith is racist. Welcome to Alberta politics.

No it’s not. It’s because she thinks she’ll win. What happens if she doesn’t win. What happens to her leadership.

yeh yeh ... anything to get a seat. she cannot win most places so pick carefully or you just may be ousted before next election even happens.

Being Premier, she can well look after the rural interests a better and more effective way

She should call a provincial election so voters can decide who should be Premier. yyc yeg DanielleSmith

Who wants to tell ABDanielleSmith that Brooks-Medicine Hat had representation until the sitting UCP MLA resigned to open up a seat that Smith could most likely win?

Sorry but Smith is going to be the worst thing that has happened in a long time so sad for Alberta !

Nah… she’s knows she can’t win in any city and she’s too afraid to try.

Is this a joke? She can’t run in Calgary because she will lose. She absolutely knows she has a better chance that 2500 dumb hicks in Medicine Hat will elect her.

She's a demagogue and coward.

Lmao

AdamMacVicar no, its because she would lose in Calgary

Hey ABDanielleSmith is that as close to Coutts as you could get?

Brooks-Medicine Hat already had UCP representation...so explain this to me like I'm 5. How will this change anything?

So Funny! For years now,The Bay didn't send any high-end stylish cloth in Calgary or Edmonton for fear it wouldn't sell to the farmer and the low life of AB so when she says rural she means inbred Hillbillies

She wants a sure win because to run in her first election and loose would certainly look bad. Just like when Getty lost his seat. In rural Alberta, you could run a dead cow that's painted blue with a big C on it in an election and it would win.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bullshit.

She's afraid of losing in Calgary..

AdamMacVicar i call BS

This is true

Bullshit! She doesn’t think she can win in Calgary. She’s such a bottom feeder.

lol sure

In a big city you need way more resources to buy/fool voters. A vote in a big city is a measure of power and acceptance but she knows she lacks both. There is a obvious huge disconnect between UCP members and UCP voters (general public). General public would have not voted her in

That is bull she wants to be sure she gets a sit that,s why she will not run in a larger area!!!!

She wants to run there because there are a lot of like minded people there who will support her insane views. She knows she will lose in a city by election.

I call BULLSHIT!! SHE is parachuting into a safe riding.
