A new report on the wildfire that tore through Jasper reveals that while local crews and Parks Canada worked in coordination, the Alberta government’s involvement complicated the response. Commissioned by the town and based on input from firefighters and responders, the report highlights how a third of Jasper’s buildings were lost to the fast-moving blaze within the national park.
Despite not having jurisdictional authority, the province reportedly disrupted the unified command structure with constant information demands and attempts to influence decisions. This interference, the report says, diverted critical time and attention away from managing the fire and coordinating the return of residents.
Albertans have spoken, loud and clear:
We don’t want to leave the Canada Pension Plan, we don’t want an expensive, unnecessary provincial police force, and we overwhelmingly reject the Premier’s reckless, separatist agenda.
Why won't Danielle Smith listen?
Albertans should ask the Premier why she is wasting public dollars on this separatist pet project when there are so many pressing issues that need to be dealt with.

Danielle Smith claims that flying to Florida to pose with Ben Shapiro is “going into the lion’s den” to promote Alberta.
The truth is, it’s a Republican safe space, a far-right fundraiser.
Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook to pay for the Premier to pump up her ego. #ableg
Just going to state this matter-of-factly … the honourary captain for Canada in this game publicly supports a political leader whose position is that Canada should not exist as a nation.
