She is Premier and a good one at that, and the federal government, arguably the worst in history, is the "touchy, feely, gender-bending, believin' in climate change party" he joked about. Weird.
Rick does interviews with politicians better than anyone. He gets them to relax and let their guard down and laugh a little. We see a little more about the person which I truly appreciate.
It’s funny because I don’t mind people on the other side of the political spectrum so long as they’re civil and polite. I may disagree with Mercer but this was great to see two people engaging in polite conversation and having fun together without letting politics get in the way. Good luck trying to do this video in today’s polarized political climate.
The floor crossing was a bad moment in this province’s history but I have not had too much trouble forgiving her over the last year or two. I just hope the electorate doesn’t mess it up next election.
libertarian does not equal social liberal. She doesn't think government should regulate abortion or same sex marriage, doesn't mean she personally feels that way.
Well said! when I get into these arguments with people, what is frustrating is their lack of knowledge when it comes to the oil sands. All I ask of people is to educate yourself in the matter.
lps_ angel_of_cuteness haha, its okay. you are too sweet. Well apart from the mall, looks like Edmonton has a hot politician to brag about... Lol, don't have to be sorry. I should be sorry for being rude. So I say .... I am Sorry in Justin Bieber's tone.
@Oilerfan5 haha, fair enough...she seems so well spoken and I'm like, "wow, maybe the wild rose aliance isn't so bad"...and then my mind catches up and I realize I sound like Sarah Palin at a Tea party raley...haha...so in conclusion, I must agree with you.
That is not the same person...different voice, different nose, different hair color and different body...I knew it when I saw her in 2020, not the same person, just put them side by side from 22 minutes
Let me just point out the flaw in your logic here. You're defending Danielle Smith because shutting down Canada wouldn't make a dent in global warming, which may very well be true. But you finish by calling the theory silly. So you defend Alberta by saying we play a small role in climate change, then go on to say climate change is a silly theory. You're just running in circles here. I read books and I think :)
Female politicians are usually cringe (as a woman myself) but Danielle is so articulate, beautiful yet modest, relatable and intelligent. I honestly hope she’s our first female PM. She’s great.
Everything Danielle said about not wanting to run a negative campaign went out the window the second she started to run. Watching her and Redford go at it at the 2012 debates was like watching a cat fight.
What studies show the oil sands causing earthquakes? I agree that Oilsands cause a lot of environmental damage but a tiny bit of digging in the oil sands causing any sort of major seismic impact? It seems unlikely.
@sarcee1960 Nothing extremist about Danielle and Wildrose...smaller government, increased personal responsibility, bigger tax breaks for volunteering to help the less fortunate and real democracy through allowing free votes by MLAs....if that's an extremist party, then so be it.....the term is actually Libertarian, where the government gets out of the way and facilitates to lift Alberta to better position.
@@bucknaked2637 didn't Stephen harper literally make it illegal for Canadian scientists to post their findings on fracking in Canada? You would probably re vote him back in, in a heartbeat
So glad she’s our new Premier. She has the prestige of holding the greatest political come back story in Canadian history and she’s Canada’s Ron DeSantis, she’s amazing!
Your comment was removed lol I think because it made no sense. The IMF and UN both released joint statements saying that Terrorism and climate change do not pose as big a threat right now as does economics. You need to get in touch with the world as a whole and realize without these resources Canada would be in recession. I understand you're an NDP supporter and none of this makes any sense to you but please try to think Globally with this k.
Is this a serious comment? If your going to say such garbage then at least provide the sources for it. What proof do you have that these oil sands are causing earth quakes? These oil sands are needed and are a huge reason why were not in a recession right now.
lol.. Hmm.. I guess it makes it all better because the UN said that huh? Let me ask you a very simple question... Where is the UN hq? Im sure The United States of America have absolutely no sway in the UN as well, correct (Sarcasm).. The fact of the matter is, the economy will come back up, its a recession, its happened before.... We can't just make the environment better in a few years though, where as we can with the economy.
No.. only just demading that Alison Redford isn't Albertan (BTW, I don't vote PC) And stating that we should have private healthcare, and take the rights of gays and women... not extreme at all...
Shale natural gas is not the oil sands. I agree natural gas has the ability to cause seismic disturbances, and is very much worth of debate, but when talking about the oil sands, back up this statement, " Studies have shown the Alberta oil sands are causing earthquakes around the world because we are digging too much." or take it back.
scratch that, shouldn't say no class cities because i have plenty of friends from both, should've said no class fan, as i have multiple examples of how they mistreat other fans. but either way in life one must respect before disrespecting.
Unless you are a bank...in which case you create money out of thin air and collect interest on it. That is as free as it gets and the greatest root of inequality and suffering in the world.
The BEST ride at WEM ever!!! I give Danielle a term in as Premier to do Fantastic and make me forgive her for effffing up Albertans by leaving the Wildrose just before a vital election that got us Nutley in. What a disaster!!!!!
She was trying to unite the two parties, which is what eventually happened anyway. Having two conservative parties is what made the NDP win. Since they merged we have had two UCP majorities.
@riplearaelothian yeah, when i first heard about a new party i was thinking good, we need a more diverse selection of parties, since the conservatives win anyway. then i see their platform and it doesnt fit what alberta needs at all. granted i cant remember it....
@@joalyincontroly4379 YUP ! This time around I voted UCP. Notley is and was a LIAR . I started calling her 'Leninade Notley' . A vote for 'Leninade Notley' is a vote for the Trudeau/Singh Coalition , and Alberta Does NOT need that !
@@jackpontiac52 Alberta, Canada and indeed the entire world does NOT need any more of the Marxist WEF corporate globalist bullshit. Sagmeat and TUrdeau are working with/for powerful foreign entities against Canadian sovereign interests and should be tried for treason then punished to the harshest historical extent under Canadian law.
I would compare Alberta to Oklahoma. You have 2 Major Cities (Edmonton, Calgary) We have 2 Major Cities (Oklahoma City, Tulsa) You have oil. We Have Oil. You have native descendants. We have native descendants.
I have never heard if Alberta being abrasive with Eastern Canada.That's news to me.Could you then please tell me how many east coasters are there that are working in Alberta that are helping it's economy to stay afloat?💲💲👍
I am born and raised in Alberta (Edmonton) and I wish I never lived here, 26 years of boredom, west edmonton mall is a tacky joke that loses it's appeal once you turn 12 years old
The best part about all of this is that I found you posting on another video saying your credentials are that you read a lot. You're not a very good troll.
13 years later, Danielle Smith is Premier, and the Mindbender just closed for good.
Yet this episode still feels like it happened just yesterday.
She's awesome💛
She is Premier and a good one at that, and the federal government, arguably the worst in history, is the "touchy, feely, gender-bending, believin' in climate change party" he joked about. Weird.
RIP roller coaster
Danielle Smith is a screamer? I never would have guessed.
hahaha
She's a squirter too!
Here we are years later saying "thank god she wont legalize heroine" . .. Thank you Danielle.
Ban heroines!!! We only want Batman and Robin!
After she fixes Alberta she can fix Canada.
I don't think it's possible, as the current government has fucked things up too much.
Rick does interviews with politicians better than anyone. He gets them to relax and let their guard down and laugh a little. We see a little more about the person which I truly appreciate.
Mercer & Grapes were the only reason to briefly tune into CBC
I'm here as part of a time machine
I'm here cause she just won. She looks great here
She was never hard on the eyes for sure
@@johnjameson7056 she sure packed on the beef now .
She's a dangerous lunatic!!! God help us all dealing with this bitch premier for the next 4 years!!! Stupid bitch!!
Not anymore
Even the animals love her! Go girl we love you and are so thankful for your being.
She was so attractive then.
She still is that's are Iron Lady
I haven't felt this good about voting since Ralph Klein go Danielle go!
This was a fun watch. Premier Smith attractive then and attractive now.
How do you know someone isn't from Edmonton? They call it "the" West Edmonton Mall.
It's WEM to you!
@maryloumitchell3180 we call it west ed bruh
West Ed forever
Deadmonton is a first rate shithole. I lived there foe 5 years..shithole all the way.
I'm not a Mercer fan but that was pretty cool. Danielle was (and still is ) gorgeous.
You have bad taste in women
@@skinnflint Sort of a pin up of Margaret Thatcher.

At the end of this ride Danielle Smith needs a cigerrette.
She was awesome then, and she is awesome now!
Was thinking that myself!
👏👌👍

IDK, I think Danielle is smokin hot!
why does only 13 years ago feel like the good old days?
Because it was BJ. Before Justin.
@@gcc8584 quite the acronym 😅😂
Because the effect of climate change weren't as tangible.
mercer cruises grindr for 'dates' not eharmony.
Say the guy who probably cruises grindr too...
Go Danielle Smith!! Smart Albertans are behind you 💯.
"She looks just like her E-Harmony pic!" LOL
lmao fuck i laughed when he said that
I think he meant Craigslist

Danielle Smith she just keeps getting better.
we’ll never forget that bus image
Well said!

so all oil all the time then? idiots!
Alberta has got the hottest politician in the World.
yes it is I even live in Edmonton and I got to the mall everyday and there is 800 stores in the mall
lps_ angel_of_cuteness lol we are not talking about the only thing people in Edmonton brags about.

This is a great, entertaining video with a Canadian icon.
Go Danielle!
It took a little bit but she is now premier!
Good to hear this helped. Thanks for the kind words
And now she's turning out to be the best premier that we've ever had. Go Danielle Smith!
She's awesome💛
your whole world must be upside down if you call the worst person "best"..
She will never beat Peter Lougheed, but she’s doing very well

13 years later, she is running in an election to remain premier.
And did just that! Go Danielle!
Cbc was still good then
who knew! She's a screamer!
but yeah she's totally hot.
Very cute together
in that bungee thing... shes a real screamer :)

To the train station.

damn i was hoping theyd do the waterpark bungie jump lol

How do you feel about Danielle now? 😂
Debating isn't negative neither was hers -no matter how u perceive it

When Smith throws a blue ball she knocks down the pins with a green ball. God i love trick shots
It was always green ball. Not sure what your watching. I played it three to four times.
Gravity is not settled like you think Danielle, why do you think they're trying to make a quantum gravity theory?

Worked her Wildrose going to try hardest to get her in Smart Lady.
She seems like a fun date as long as we don't talk politics.
The only time I could ever stomach anything from the cbc
Yeah, this is reality, she is the real and very attractive woman.

She's hot
Hahaha your page is going to get some traffic off this classic clip 😁
