Danielle Smith's Ridiculous Fight Against Canada

[Dr Strangelove]

Danielle Smith issued an "Alberta Day" statement this morning...

And then reissued it, removing the acknowledgement of First Nations peoples in Alberta.

And included a shout out to oil and gas instead.

The controversy: The creator highlights that the original Alberta Day post included specific recognition of Indigenous peoples and treaties. This version was later removed and replaced with a version that omits this specific acknowledgment, using broader language about "generations of Albertans" instead (0:46-2:15).
The Premier's response: When asked about the change, Danielle Smith attributed the switch to a "glitch" within the public service, claiming she was unsure what happened but that the final version was "fine" (2:22-2:46).
The creator's critique: The creator argues that as Premier, Smith is ultimately responsible for the messaging. By acknowledging the original post was better but failing to insist on restoring it, the creator asserts that the Premier is avoiding accountability and showing a lack of care regarding Indigenous reconciliation and the treaty process (2:47-4:11).
