Tell Smith we want a united Canadian front against the Trump tariffs this Saturday (jan18 2pm at ABleg)
Hello,
After Smith refused to sign on to the joint premier's statement I was pretty angry and I think quite a few other Albertans were as well.
I posted on Reddit asking if there was a protest planned. There was not.
I got tonnes of replies telling me I was wasting my time and stupid which makes me think... why are so many people invested in me "wasting" my Saturday afternoon? Do I think it will force Smith to change positions, of course not. It's for us to see some friendly faces and know there are other Albertans that will stand up for our country.
It's going to be very cold. I might be the only person there but I know I will regret not trying! Please join me if you can. Wear a toque and mitts (ideally red and white). I have no other social media so please pass this message along to your networks. I know the UCP really hates washable chalk but it's not really going to fly in this weather. Bright red gatorade would probably freeze nicely in the snow and you could probably write some snappy messages that would look great posted on social media.
If you can't make it I would love to see signs/slogan inspiration below.
tldr: Do you love Canada? Show up at the Alberta legislature Saturday Jan 18th at 2pm sharp with a funny sign and we will sing a quick oh Canada before we freeze our arses off by 2:30. Every friendly person is welcome.
