As is well known, Alberta Premier Smith’s #SovereigntyAct has been shown to be a meaningless joke.
And yet, a 2.0 is impending from the UCP government in order to fight Ottawa's proposed emissions regulations.

Alberta premier Danielle Smith will be sitting down to chat with fellow conspiracy theorist and misinformation wing nut Tucker Carlson early in 2024. Although Carlson is too extreme for Fox News, he is just the right level of extreme for the #Alberta premier--the same premier who is currently holding the rest of the country hostage with her #SovereigntyAct and proposal to strip the #CPP of more than half its value.

The Alberta Sovereignty Act is "an unconstitutional bit of magical thinking in which the province grants itself the power to ignore federal law whenever the fancy strikes.
...Ms. Smith’s goal: to undermine the system of shared powers in Canada’s federation, and to paint Ottawa’s constitutional place in that system as some kind of foreign insurgence."

"#Alberta wraps up fall legislature sitting dominated by controversial #SovereigntyAct
Alberta’s Opposition #NDP says the first sitting under Premier #DanielleSmith was a short, chaotic mess with the passage of a sovereignty act that dooms the province to confusion over who follows which laws."
"#DanielleSmith stumbled into a fight with Treaty chiefs. Then, she made it worse.
In her rush to introduce and pass Alberta’s #SovereigntyAct, Smith has infuriated chiefs in #Alberta, who see the legislation as an attack on their #TreatyRights."

“People had virtually no opportunity to consider how they had changed the bill in response to all of the criticisms,” Gray said at a news conference Friday.
“Danielle Smith, upon hearing all of the criticisms, just shut down debate and ran away.”

“We will not be treated as second class citizens - we deserve to have a voice at the table and protect our most precious resource- the land. Our fight isn’t over, we are examining our next steps to see that the Sovereignty Act is retracted.”
