Unlike Trudeau, Danielle Smith spoke to CBC News at the end of the year. CBC concerns: Trump tariffs, Trump deal zones, Alberta charter schools, health care by function and what awaits us in 2025?
"The problem we have in Western Canada is clearly linked to the problem of drug overdoses and it has become even more acute after COVID-19. We have seen it in British Columbia and Alberta, which seem to have a somewhat integrated drug market... where the product comes from British Columbia and then ends up in the United States through Alberta, the precursors come to Alberta and then go back to the United States."
Fentanyl "My Secretary of Public Safety had already begun the process of training a team of sheriffs who could be deployed to patrol the border and be dedicated to combating the fentanyl problem."
"I am pleased that the federal government is now starting to see that the policies that it has adopted are having consequences."
Charter Schools "When they can choose a type of educational format that really works, public schools are able to adopt it, and that is exactly the type of innovative model that we want."
Health Care "Let me say "how we look at care, we have to have a single primary care, you want everyone to have a family doctor or a nurse practitioner. The next door you have to go through is the one you have to go through if you have mental health or substance abuse issues that require a very specialized type of care. Some of that care will be provided in a hospital setting and some of that will be provided on an outpatient basis, but you need to have people who are specialized and trained in that area to provide those services."
