This reporter is a disgrace
I thought so too, he did not hold her feet to the fire nearly enough
Full support to Alberta.
He's really working hard for a 'gotcha'. Trudeau dollars hard at work.
Yeah, but that's his job: To find the cracks, liberal or conservative. Should be thankful they're not soft ball questions that reveal nothing.
@@bigrob1887 they ask liberals some pretty soft ball questions
@@bigrob1887 Oh please. They don't talk that way to the liberals.
I'm happy she gets the tough questions it shows what a real leader should be. Daniel is amazing she answers the questions and doesn't play games.
@@bigrob1887lol if only they did their job in the nonpartisan way you are claiming
Which they don’t
This guy is such a tool. She handled him very well.
Its like bringing a knife to a gunfight, Smith smoked this clown!
He’s not a tool. His job is to act as devils advocate, or an opposed view in order to have her make her case. And she did.
That’s what he’s supposed to do.
@@dantheman669 yeeeh - but he's overly confrontational and dismissive. She handled the prodding extremely well.
@@dantheman669 nope. he's clearly biased. it shows
that guy is bought and paid for by trudo
Well done Premier.
Are you a rich capitalist? Because only the rich capitalists are going to do very well by Conservative leadership. Everybody else will be exploited.
@@coolioso808 The sky is falling!!!!!!!
@@1OriginalCooperdude or you could be ignorant to the ecological and social instability of the world capitalist order and just learn the hard way. Your choice.
She handled that well, considering the heavily biased line of questioning, and interruptions
Exactly. Never see these type of questions with Trudeau or Freeland
@@beasport505sure we do, but neither of those cowards actually do interviews very often.
The level of bias from this activist "journalist" is beyond pathetic.
He wouldn't talk to a Liberal like this.
@@karen123it's hard to talk while kissing ass
He talked to her(it) as she deserved she is unacceptable . Her (its) ideology is pedestrian and insecure leader who insults the intelligence of most humans by simply existing
Are you kidding me! She's acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get her way, and YOU are blaming the journalist?
What's pathetic is you pigeons who blame Trudeau for every issue in Canada, and cheer on obstructionist CONSERVATIVE PREMIERS who get in the way of trying to fix Canada's issues!
What has this woman actually accomplished since she's been put into power?? Gas and Hydro rates are through the roof in Alberta! Housing is WAAAYYYY behind! She's cut off ANY idea of green energy production! She's taxed EV drivers! She's trying to fund $20 BILLION to clean up orphaned wells! She's made a complete mess of Alberta's healthcare system......and now she's getting in the way of housing, and ANY federal funding that enters the province!
She's a partisan hack, who will allow her constituents to die ONLY to get one over on the Federal Libs!
I hope he’s just imitating Vassy and playing the devil’s advocate but I would have to see him question a liberal politician before I could actually say he is.
Why does he keep slamming the negative instead of hearing her out!?????.
Because he'd be fired.
He's taxpayer funded
He's a faithful follower of Mr. Trudeau's deception.
@@codechartreuse No, they talk like this to conservative politicians. Just listen next time he interviews the Jag, or Trudeau or any of the Liberal/NDP caucus.
@@codechartreuse😂😂😂
"sorry for interrupting". Don't be sorry, just let her talk, and actually listen.
Who is this guy, terrible interviewer. He's not going to win against Smith.
That’s his problem. It’s an interview not a debate. Winning shouldn’t be a thing. It’s supposed to be journalism
@@BlueTeamRedTeam THANK YOU! Too many reporters act like they are in a debate or worse act like activists rather than getting perspectives.
This guy is a clown. Danielle is great.
When a capitalism-supporting politician is praised, without skepticism, you got problems.
He’s not a clown, he’s asking questions and she’s answering them quite well. If you think blindly supporting someone and not questioning their actions is the right way to go, you’re a fool. All politicians, all government, need to be questioned for their actions
Danielle Smith is phenomenal. What amazing person. Very thankful for her.
Smith is phenomenal at manipulating the public to vote her into power and being a tool for the capitalist rich class to increase their wealth off the backs of the exploited working class and the scarce resources around, like fossil fuels.
Are you happy that Alberta is tied with Ontario for the worst inequality in Canada? And are you surprised that of all the party supporters, the NDP are the most supportive of reducing inequality (75%) and Conservatives are least supportive (35%)? Or are you okay with the results of predatory late stage capitalism?
Wow he just isn’t listening ..
He didn't even ask very tough questions. He didn't ask Smith about Alberta's rank as worst in Canada, tied with Ontario actually, for inequality. He didn't ask Smith about how polls show that only 35% of Conservatives strongly support reducing inequality, while 75% support reducing inequality for NDP. He didn't ask Smith about her stance on worker co-ops and unions, if she is in favour of them or more in favour of private capitalist business growth?
Smith got off easy, and her supporters are praising her for it.
@@coolioso808😂😂😂😂😂
@@coolioso808 Settle down commie.
@@coolioso808
You're a 5i11y, fully captured person 🙂
@@_Solaris I’m a free thinker not praising or following false prophets and politicians going the wrong direction, like Smith or PP and the Cons.
I’m interested in truth, integrity, decency and sustainability. What are your values and where do you get your evidence to back up your world view? From Conservative politicians??
She’s a smart cookie, much smarter than Trudeau
That's a low bar
The problem for Danielle Smith is Albertans know the power crisis in Alberta is because the UCP Premier and the party spent the last four years, closing businesses, closing schools, fencing churches to shut them down, forcing elementary schools to enforce mask mandates on children and now its pronouns and rainbow sidewalks instead of making sure there is enough power generation to keep the lights on.
AMEN! Lol @@brads2041
Terrible comparison. My dog is smarter than Trudeau.
Go ahead and vote for Putin lover. See if it works out like you think it will. You might get a big surprise.
That interviewer is a light weight. Does he think a retail carbon tax will suddenly stop wildfires?
Yes, he likely does, with his vacuous questioning.
No kidding. Canadians know carelessness is the primary cause of forest fires, followed by natural occurrences called lightning strikes.
Poorly researched at all levels and some Canadians drank the liberal cool aid.
Clearly you need to educate yourself. Carbon tax makes the biggest polluters have to pay for their pollution, for their carbon emissions. Evidence, from countries world wide, shows that putting a price on carbon makes companies look for ways and implement ways to decrease their carbon emissions. A reduction in emissions decreases the carbon in the air that is causing climate change.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689lmfao
No the industrial carbon tax drives out business from Canada and drives up prices.
The companies just raise prices to pay for their carbon taxes.
🙄
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 LMAO. talk about a failure to comprehend science let alone reality. carbon is not pollution simple child.
this guy is a liberal
Smith is right to ask for what Quebec, who her province supports, gets and to tell Trudeau to keep his fingers out of her pie.
Smart woman. The other provinces should follow.
I love her smooth, gracious, poised confidence and courtesy. She has real maturity, dignity and class. Plus, she completey knows what she is about and what she is doing. Bonus - she is highly intelligent - brilliant. And strong - never intimidated.
And Justin hates strong intelligent women. I bet he’s scared of her 😂😂I hope he is.
Absolutely 💯
Anyone here think this guy is a liberal?
@@initsow pretty sure his job depends on it.
He is a liberal
@@initsow You Liberals love to project your own biases and it is very obvious lol. You sir are the troll here.
@@initsow please be nice. I'm feeling microaggressions coming from you.
Just why he asks the right questions?
Help me understand why the interviewer thinks that electric car owners should not have to pay the carbon tax that is used towards building new roads.
Firstly the 13.5 cent/L tax is not a carbon tax, it is a provincial tax directly used to pay for road building and maintenance. It was paused by 9 cent/L while gas prices inflated and has now been brought fully back. There was NO increase or new tax in Alberta. The carbon tax does nothing for roads, or much else, of course that is the federal liberal version of a "program". The tool interviewer thinks that you should not have to pay for road maintenance if you virtue signal by buying an EV, because of, well, "free stuff for me".
He is a liberal
I strongly recommend that everyone does some basic research on how the standard 8 hour working day, employment protection rights, national retirement pension, paid sick days, long-term sickness benefit, national healthcare, paid vacation, maternity leave, etc, etc, came into being.
IF you can be bothered, you will find that ALL of them were proposed and EVENTUALLY brought into being by proponents and politicians who at the time were called progressives or liberals. I emphasise EVENTUALLY, be cause ALL of them were opposed, delayed, watered down, and occasionally rowed-back, when in power, by Conservatives.
You owe your relatively comfortable long lives to liberals.
@@judewarner1536Agree to a point. Liberal ideas survive longer than Liberal parties.
She is the best. Alberta is lucky. She fights for Alberta.
She is a Q-Anon crackpots glad she is Alberta’s problem and not ours 😂
A breath of fresh air when you have a principled politician who is able to articulate her positive clearly and actually answer questions. Wow.
Not only principled, but pretty attractive looking as well! She was probably drop dead gorgeous in her younger years!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗
She has pretty ridiculous views...too far right.
@@edmundstrunkis1886 Like what?
@@edmundstrunkis1886like what ?
@@edmundstrunkis1886
Like… which?
"Federal money"????
Its taxpayer money.
Premier Smith is very correct in her position.
Wrong. Only 17% of federal government revenue comes from tax payers. The rest comes from trade agreements, imports, exports, the retail sector alone contributes almost $1T to our economy.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 It Alberta they don't understand fact they want a putin and she giving it to them taking rights away for starter
You don't understand taxation
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 you're really stupid
@@rustedandrestored Danielle Smith also clearly doesn't like the fact that cities are being given the power to accept federal money without provincial government intervention. Such as in Saskatchewan, Scott Moe and his government don't like conditions set by the federal government on the money for housing being given, such as conditions to build housing cities are lacking, so the mayor of Saskatoon has accepted the conditions and has been given tens of millions of dollars to build housing.
This country is a mess, but wouldn't take as long as they thought it would if we had a Prime Minister like Danielle Smith to get Canada back on track.
we'll get one...Pierre. Between the 2 of them, this juggernaut will be turned around.
I have yet to hear any Canadian politician explain how a retail carbon tax prevents wildfires.
You can't afford gas so you can't get to the forest .
They aren't meant to. Quit being like this.
ALso if you are like this, don't complain when you can't breathe, let alone have a backyard campfire in upcoming years. It will only get worse. And wait until you don't have water.
@@wallied3583 we've been hearing this for years and it has yet to happened. Y'all keep pushing back this no point of return. Stop your bullshitting.
@@wallied3583oh stop it. They build air purifiers 🙄
Wake up.
This interviewer is terrible. The bias is so evident.
Premier Smith is awesome!

@halielouya453 lmao, the NDP killed everything while in power.
@@templarrising6299 Not one UCP minister or party member that supported arresting church leaders were fired or thrown out of the party. BTW, perhaps you could list Danelle's accomplishments, like her raising the fuel tax at the pump by 13 cents a litre, the largest single year increase in the fuel tax in the history of Alberta.
@@halielouya453does a multi billion dollar surplus count? How about shutting down the feds time and time again? How about protecting kids from the alphabet mafia?

Get better employees to interview guest this guy sucks big time. He’s actually unlikable.
Makes you wish news programs had the old "hook" to pull him off the stage, like vaudeville had. He needs two "L"s on his forward, one for Liberal, another for Loser.
We shouldnt want interviewers who are soft to our leaders.
Get over yourself kid.
@@normangensler7380 Guess you are the king of said losers
What would be your questions to Smith? "Hey, how much do you like capitalism? Ain't it great! Rich get richer and poor and working class get more exploited while the environment continues to decline. And you are smiling about it?"
He's walking in his master's footsteps.
We need more Danielle Smith's in Canada.
Thanks for putting this lurp in his place
Not “uttering” of words when she speaks unlike JT!!
Exactly! That is so refreshing.. Also to hear a leader answer an actual question.. just wow! Is Trudeau taking notes ? I doubt..
Trudeau's forte'? Deflection and deception.
Best Premier in Canada.
Agree and I live in Ontario.
Agree. And I live in British Columbia.
What a jewel in Canadian politics
Really accept that Alberta wants to be treated the same as Quebec.
Alberta is about to get their THIRD Prime Minister in the last SIX PM's, so we'll see, eh???
Unlike Trudeau she doesn’t need notes or predetermined questions to answer , no stuttering or saying the wrong word. High intelligence. She would have been a fantastic PM, but she is also an awesome premier
She's a right-wing ideologue. What's not to love LOL
@edmundstrunkis1886 how is she right wing ?
Ma. Smith is best politician in Canada. Beats all federal leaders, and provincial leaders in any debate. Expect another 8 more years of Ms. Smith interviews as leader of Alberta. ❤
@@lmtada Your rights are being taking away and you think she is best something wrong with you
@@momtur4875 Who's rights is she removing? Every piece of legislation she's signed into law have been wholly constitutional and in line with our Charter rights.
This interviewer is out of his league!
Hardly. She had thorough answers to tough questions, that's all. In other words, he was never caught off guard. It was a fair interview.
@@bigrob1887wake up junior, he is saying this guy is out of his league because this was clearly meant to be a gotcha interview and Danielle made the guy look like a fool
He did look like a fool, if you can’t see that then you are the fool
@@arkcon714 Look, I have nothing against the PC's, in fact I voted for them several times over the course of my lifetime, but you have to understand that the ethos of conservatism is essentially tax breaks for the wealthy, deregulation for corporations and banks, and cuts to social programs. This is why they are held to a higher standard, we (the working class) need to know just how deep those cuts will be. And for the record I'm 41 years old, it's been a while since someone called me 'junior' lol 😅
@@bigrob1887Danielle Smith is not even a “PC”… Scott Moe is not a “PC” as well. FYI
And that usually happens after the Liberals and NDP spend like drunken sailors.
We Manitobans stand on guard with you Albertans! 〽️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Speak for yourself. Regressive Conservatives haven't fooled everybody in Manitoba, but they got you, apparently. Do you still support the unsustainable capitalist system? The capitalist system that generates mass inequality and most Conservatives are not interested in reducing inequality, polls show.
Fight your government. To fight feds. Get your province to join Saskatchewan and Ab
Danielle Smith would be a great prime minister
She's far behind Kim Campbell.
Yeah, for the rich capitalist class!
@@coolioso808 Your reason?
Thank you Danielle, So proud that you're our Premier. Happy that you outclassed the classless reporter or whatever he is called.
He’s an Activist/jt simp?
I could listen to this common sense lady all day long.
Jewel of Alberta Daniel smith iron Lady
noticeably different gradients of intelligence on display here
Indeed, Smith isn't very bright, but she is smarter than the Conservative supporters who she has convinced them she is working for them. I mean, she is working for them, if they are rich capitalists, but if they are poor or working class, she is manipulating and exploiting them.
What reporters need to learn is they are not debaters of guests. They should be interviewing guests to gain an insight into a guests' perspective and let the audience decide. That is far more valuable than "Gotya" style of news. Even if you have a terrible person, having their perspective and ideas accurately displayed is better for society to see than trying to do activism pretending to be journalism.
How else would you find out if a politician policies are sound, if not to challenge them? A hell of a lot more informative/revealing than "Softball" interviews.
@@bigrob1887 You're missing the point, that his questions were answered effectively, yet he chose to ask the same questions and waste more time. His skills are sorely lacking, if being informative is the quest.
Extremely well said
@@normangensler7380exactly well said
From EDMONTON ALBERTA ❤ ex drug addict. I love danielle Smith. Ppl need to be helped out of their addiction.. not killed by the government
I don't believe you at all.
@JSmith_514 did Coke from the time I was 14- 20, then started doing meth. Meth from 20 - 23. Then my life was radically changed when I met Jesus, and he pulled me from every addiction and turned my life around. From death to life 🥰
I love Danielle Smith, practical, pragmatic, principled, problem solver! Excellent leader
I have huge respect and best wishes for her continued success
How easy was it for her to fool you? Did you ask any skeptical questions before supporting? Did you do your own research? Do you support capitalism? Do you support inequality rising? Do you have any concerns with control freak Conservatives and austerity measures?
Danielle Smith is so impressive. Very well prepared for these attacks on her views. I wonder what party this guy votes for? Alberta you are so lucky to have a leader like her. Smart common sense lady.
Sooooo impressed by this logical, tough lady. Hoping all the provincial leaders will take the same stance and put the feds back in their lane. Send Trudeau to his room.
As a Quebecer I fully agree with her
There's a catch to accepting the money. Can't use natural gas for one example lol praire winters and these clowns think a heat pump is a solution 😂
I’m moving back to Alberta if she stays in charge. What a breath of fresh air. And this reporter is trying to trip her up. Tough to do when she’s speaking truth.
She used to do his job, only with much more skill.
I hope she gets into Federal politics one day. Even out the playing field with this broken country.
Very intelligent woman. We need more of her
I guess political manipulation of the citizens to favour the capitalist class is a type of intelligence. Doesn't work on me and many other free and critical thinkers. But it does grab a significant conservative base who seem to enjoy letting politicians tell them what to think rather than doing their own research.
@@coolioso808 She's well read and can speak on many issues, far better than most dopey politicians
This "reporters" bias is showing.
In BC 35% of the population will not get a single cent on the carbon rebate. Of the other 65%, the rebate is adjusted to income. In the next three years, Eby's NDP will collect 9 billion dollars of which he will hand out only 3 billion in rebates. BC is the land of the highest: taxes, cost of living, gas prices, and housing cost. Time for an election.
If they could get their populace to slow down on the cannabis intake, they might sober up enough to vote effectively.
Wonder why BC voters seem to keep electing incompetent tax and spend governments who don't care about their citizens?
I'm hopeful the BC Conservatives will continue to gain momentum.
@@normangensler7380BC and Ontario pay their fair share of taxes
EBY should ebb away. Don't hear too much about the cons though.
She crushed this guy with reason.
Daniel Smith is on FIRE!❤
Danielle Smith knows what she is talking about and communicates it well - no having to think about it.
I am glad to be a returning Albertan. Premier Smith has shown great leadership in protecting all Albertans from the unjust policies of the federal liberals. Go Danielle go.....
She is incredibly smart, wanting to be fair, Interviewer bought and paid for.
Danielle Smith = freedum
This guy wouldn't ask a liberal these questions
"Sorry to interrupt?" This interviewer is a clown. Nice try bullying Danielle Smith. She presents data. He presents pablum.
Premier smith is is brilliant. Just need liberal-NDP government to get out of her way
This segment needs a header: "Dork at work"!
very smart, she knows what she is fighting for ❤
What part doesn't this clown understand 🤔 perhaps she should have brought some paper and crayons for him
Who can even afford an EV? SMH
Alberta (12% of the country’s population) only gets 2% of the federal funding because Quebec (18% of the country’s population) always gets at least 50% of federal funding, which English Canada pays for as ransom to the separatist blackmail grifters.
The 50% is not for separatist grift, it is for grift for Quebec continuing to keep southern Ontario in charge of everything.
Glory to this brilliant woman and beautiful and strong Alberta
Alberta is the worst province in Canada for inequality, tied with Ontario, led by Conservative Ford.
I love watching Danielle talk circles around these activist “journalists”
Remind me again how many forest fires were the work of Arson and Lightning??
Arson/accidental about 70% lightning about 30%
Danielle Smith is doing a great job !
I wish Canada had more of Daniel smith premiers!
Quebec here
Danielle Smith is a national treasure.. She is a truly great leader.
To the Liberals please take note of what a strong, independent woman actually looks like. Glad to be Albertan.

Great job Smith, liberal bias is sickening. How come he's not covering all the arson of the fires last year.
Taking money from the federal government what kind of conditions are you dealing with
Doug Ford are you taking notes? This is a Premier, in fact while I imagine she isn't perfect I'd vote for her for Prime Minister!
Love Danielle Smith!
The only difference is that Trudeau is trying to get re-elected. Danielle Smith isn’t trying to get re-elected.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the federal crown corporation had no say over anything? Merely existing as peaceful ambassadors to other nations? Whose budgets would be decided by the provinces?
Why don’t these interviewers address the fact that Trudeau is against Alberta???????
He tried really hard for a gotcha, including speaking over her and quickly jumping to his next attempt at talking for the liberal policies.
Electric vehicle are not working
She is amazing
I LOVE DANIELLE SMITH
To make the road tax the same, remove the chunk from the cost of gas and charge every vehicle 200 per year. Make it fair
Yes, $ 200 EV registration fee is cheap, I use approx 2,700 litres a year and the Province’s 13 cent provincial gas tax (cheaper than many other provinces at approx $ 351.00) still costs me more than the $ 200 EV fee, plus the $ 200 EV fee doesn’t have GST piled on top of it.
Ughhh these journalists and their questions are just so blahhh they aren’t that interesting or intelligent, often repetitive and even though they’re saying it politely you just feel like they’re trying to stab guest with a knife. Cutting them off, so rude. It’s weird and it’s like they don’t understand how government works or how governments work together. It’s nothing new here…Quebec has this in place. So freaking lame.
Well, it is their job to hold guests to account. Especially politicians. Personally i quite appreciated it because Ms Smith never skips a beat and has a strong and sensible answer for every "gotcha" every journalist has ever laid before her. Even Poilievre hasnt kept up with reporters with quite the flair that Premier Smith wields.
Danielle handled him perfectly. Poise, grace, never rude never cutting him off, actually answering every question. He and his Liberal cronies should take notes.
@@whiskybrush3219I agree . That's what journalism USED to be. You won't see this type of drilling with Ndp or liberals.
Remember when the PM said that housing is a provincial matter
We want journalism to be a profession with professionals again…this guy isn’t
Well, then I'm sure you support the true journalists of integrity out there, like the brave Julian Assange, and the working journalists like Abby Martin, Chris Hedges, Caitlin Johnstone, Aaron Mate and Lee Camp along with channels of integrity like The Real News Network and BreakThrough News, right?
Go Danielle. As much as the host tries to twist everything, she keeps him straight lol
I live in Montréal, we have only 2 safe sights, we have no tents on the streets, if you do a crime, you'll go to jail here. Quebec refuses to be pushed around by the federal government.
I am beginning to wonder how much of the Wild fire season is human-induced?
That reporters IQ is somewhere near that of Gilbo .... net zero!!!
What Smith is trying to avoid is the way Justin goes into a place where he sees he might win a seat or two and offers a shitload of money but completely ignores places where he doesn’t have a chance. She’s right, he’s playing politics.
Tough to listen to this bais and the push to minimize the importance of the constitution.
It's clear there is an effort to centralize power with the federal government by skirting around provincial jurisdiction
Premier Smith is such a breath of fresh air. If you contrast her to the federal finance minister you see why things are such a disaster at the federal level under the liberals.
🤣
Alberta is very lucky to have her as their premier.
This is how a true Canadian politician should act and answer !!! Way to go, Honurable Daniel Smith.

She’s a lovely person
