Premier Danielle Smith and other provincial politicians benefit greatly from Pm

Analysis by Cory Morgan

Alberta has rarely regarded the Trudeau administration as a friend. However, in the strange realm of politics, Premier Danielle Smith and other provincial politicians benefit greatly from Prime Minister Trudeau.
More than 6,000 people have signed up to attend the Alberta UCP's annual general meeting, which is scheduled for early November. A conservative faction may be planning to remove Smith, and the strong participation may be tied to the premier's upcoming leadership review. Smith has launched a $7 million advertising campaign opposing a potential federal emissions cap, demonstrating that there is no better way to mobilize support within an Albertan party than to go to war with the Liberals in Ottawa.
Smith, Premier  didn't hold back when she challenged Trudeau to call an election and questioned his reasons in a recent interview with the Calgary Herald. She will be able to convincingly portray herself as the defender of Alberta's interests against the Trudeau Liberals if she can provoke the prime minister into acting, which will undoubtedly increase her support in the leadership review.

Will Smith's excellent political manoeuvring result in sound policies?
"The last few months of a dying government is when they're the most dangerous," Premier Smith said, warning of the dangers the Trudeau administration poses.

Both her belief that the government is dying and her belief that it may be hazardous are likely accurate in terms of policies that can be detrimental to her side as a result. However, is it prudent policy for her to irritate Trudeau while he is under duress?
At the moment, the federal government is weak and preoccupied with a lot of problems. As pressure builds both inside and beyond his party, Trudeau is struggling to keep his position as leader. Enraged by Smith's criticisms, Trudeau was desperate enough to consider forcing a national energy strategy on Alberta, just as his father had done in the 1980s with the ill-fated and widely criticized National Energy Program. It might not be a good idea for a premier from the other ideological camp to irritate a prime minister who feels cornered at this moment.

The premier of Alberta is defending her province by resisting an emissions cap, which poses a risk to traditional energy companies. However, given Trudeau's current political precarious position, Smith could have been better off taking a less combative stance in an attempt to persuade him to soften or compromise on the program. However, that kind of strategy wouldn't have the effect of bolstering Smith's party members' support.

Smith is motivated by more than just the impending leadership review. Since Trudeau is expected to leave office in less than a year, she might be considering making the most of her chance to use his administration as a political foe. Pierre Poilievre could be the future prime minister. Minister, the way the Alberta government interacts with the federal government will need to alter. Poilievre is not likely to target Alberta's energy industry, and Smith will not have a definite opponent to criticize. A mixed blessing for Smith, who is only holding a slim lead in public support versus Naheed Nenshi's NDP, but a fantastic result for Alberta.

The political games are still being played in Ottawa, where Trudeau attempted to portray Poilievre as a monster who was trying to hide the identity of MPs who had been compromised within his party by using his testimony before the foreign interference probe. It is used to disparage Poilievre and divert attention from the problems facing the Liberal party. As Trudeau and Poilievre argue about which party might have more compromised lawmakers who have not been named,It is overlooked by adversarial foreign powers that we should not tolerate the presence of any compromised lawmakers, regardless of their party affiliation. As politicians prioritize gaining points against one another over putting the country's security first, the spirit and objective of the investigation are being lost.

A robust and stable federal government is essential for Canada. Too long in office, a minority administration has fostered a hostile, partisan environment that makes it practically hard to develop and discuss sound policy. Canada will benefit from having a majority government, regardless of who is in charge of the country in a year. Then, at least temporarily, policies can take precedence over politics.

Up until However, Canadians are left to watch with exasperation as political leaders at all levels of government strive to undermine one another rather than address urgent concerns related to immigration, public safety, and the economy.
