Same people calling out Danielle smith for ethics violation have voted for trudeau despite him breaching ethics in a daily basis lmao

A vote for Notley is a vote for Trudeau, or have people forgotten the NDP Liberal coalition in ramming Bill C11 through.

I agree with many people on here. Danielle came across as calm, collected and confident with solutions. Rachel seemed angry, and just attacked Smith. Leaders need to be calm and collected when facing a crisis like health care, fires etc.

Why doesn’t Smith mention the fact that when Notley got rid of Alberta coal she had to supplement the lost power by purchasing it from Montana? Which by the way, was power from coal.

People in Alberta need to remember when Notley had a full four years in power. She was totally in line with Trudeau and Alberta went down hill faster than I can remember ever in our province. Immediately a carbon tax was implemented and photo ops with Trudeau were rampant. Farmers weren’t supposed to hire their own children etc… Small businesses suffered the most through a huge increase in the minimum wage and increases in business taxes. Remember that the NDP will follow the lead of Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh and not in the interest of ever day Albertans.

I watched this twice already, and I have to say the winner was Danielle Smith. She clearly has the smarts and leadership to run this province.

Rachel sounding juvenile and spiteful.

When Notely says they put a cap on energy prices. What she actually means that the government covered the extra cost. And they did it by raising taxes. You still paid for it. Absolutely ridiculous. The NDP are liars.

Way to go Danielle … great job … Keep up the good work … God Bless

Right off the bat Danielle shows class and Racheal demonstrates how dirty she is.

It looks like Smith has this, hands down......Substance VS. smears......Obviously substance won big time........Smith has my vote.

The debate was irrelevant to me, Notley's boss in Ottawa made her irrelevant.

Notley has to read from her note when saying "I mean what I say".... that's really bad... and ' I will work daily emmmm to earn your trust" oh lord....that's Justin's style.

I don't trust notley that's for damn sure

Can this election be one that send Notley away forever?🙏🙏

Danielle Smith actually fights for Alberta...Nutley talks about it..but thinks like the elites

Didnt notley destroy alberta already? Why give her another term?

Watching from Ontario, I'd vote for Smith. We need articulate, strong, and practical leadership in every province on Team Canada.

Notley is focussed on attacking Smith while Smith is focussed on what really matters to Albertans. Ms. Smith, are you able to part-time while you're doing a great job in Alberta? Ontario needs someone like you!

i'm embarrassed i voted for notley many years ago. never again.

Every time Notley lies, her face grows a new wrinkle.

Most of what Notley comments on regarding our medical system in the last 4 years was Kenney trying to trim the "fat" from the medical unions that the NDP had plumped up. It was the AHC's upper management that started cutting doctors and nurses so that management could retain their status. The NDP government trashed the corporate taxes by raising them 38%. Companies folded up their tents and moved elsewhere. The official stats state over 180,000 jobs were lost during the NDP reign. The actual number is far over 200,000 due to the independent small businesses that depended on the official corporate numbers. We already have carbon capture technology developed here in Alberta. These systems also capture other emissions, separate them, and store them for sale in other industries. This tech is also being used across north America. The pipeline to Tidewater was built by the conservatives and near completion when the NDP accidently won. Why doesn't Notley run on her record and keep attacking the UCP for what happened after Klein stepped down and the CP deadbeats took over...which got Notley elected and sank our economy even further. We have never been so close to bankruptcy as with the NDP government.

Pretty to easy to wipe the floor with the ndp, all you have to do is be honest. Congratulations on your honesty Danielle, Alberta stands with you.

The gotcha sound bites and giving Notley the last word is pathetic but don’t forget who is subsidizing this broadcast…

Unfortunately Notley uses anger, gaslighting, finger pointing & blaming - while Smith uses common sense, solutions, realistic ideas to present to themselves. Thanks for the excellent debate & showing who should lead out Province. No surprise Notley used the tactics she did, it's all she can ever do!

Snotley is pretentious! She smiles and talks like Trudeau

All Nutley could do was attack Danielle by lying. Nutley please remove your self from our presence

Notely caused the near distruction of Alberta oil and gas. We won't forget that. Weren't those union jobs? Why would the unions support the NDP? Don't unions want to above all, protect jobs and create jobs? Voting for a party because that's the way it's always been, is hardly a good reason to do so.

Notley's sacchrin smile along with her condescending tone and insincere words coming out her mouth, makes me want to vomit. A vote for Notley is a clear win for the WEF. My vote will go up for a Smith win

Remember when Notley ran in 2015 saying all the same things, then did the complete opposite?

Smith has our vote. Clearly the better leader with real ideas which are starting to pay off. I remember the Notley years. Never again.

All notley is doing is attacking smith she appears very vindictive I see nothing positive coming out she gets in Alberta is done be time to move out of this province

Danielle Smith is what Canada needs not just Alberta

You can see the sincerity of Danielle Smith, She is what Albertan's need. 🙏

A vote for the NDP is a vote for Mr Trudeau and Klaus Schwab...Jags and Mr Trudeau are WEF Brothers.

Where I live, many people use the ER as a walk-in clinic. Most are either drug-seeking or dealing with self-inflicted symptoms such as hangovers. The survey I filled out asked if I believed people who abused the ER should be asked to pay for their visit as it cost around $500 for the nurses to treat a patient and more if a doctor is involved. I do. We have multiple walk-in clinics available and there's no need to overload the ER. Our healthcare system is currently overloaded and just in our small city, we've had dozens of new doctors and nurses come into the area thanks to the UCP's policies, we're getting an operating theatre in our hospital and an upgraded facility for radiology. All under the current UCP. The NDP cost us 1/3 of our doctors and nurses, closed off one hospital wing, and all prescriptions almost doubled in cost.

Smith spanked her silly in this debate.

Nobody wants to hear about Rachel Notley, she does not have the answer for Alberta

Rachel "we have a plan for that" Notley can't be happy with the results of this debate. Fear & smear will only get you so far in life.

Danielle Smith will be an amazing premier. Notley would align with Trudeau to up inflation.

I feel like they spent way to much time talking about what the other one did wrong and not enough talking about what they will do to fix things.

Bottom line for me is I cannot afford the NDP net zero plan. Tens of thousands for a new EV (that I don't want) is one huge tax. I can't imagine a farmer having to replace his/her farm equipment to all electric especially when many new tractor are $500K and a reliable used one starts at 50K plus. Insanity.

Daniel Smith for the win. Very Eloquent....

Danielle Smith mopped the floor with Notley.

This debate, and Smith, definitely put legacy medias biases on display. When you're supposed to be a facilitator, and explicitly say "we will step in if you interrupt your opponent", you're supposed to do just that. 3 times. THREE very abrupt times, Notley interrupted Smith and talked over her, and the pair of you just silently watched, grinning like a couple of school bullies watching their buddy torment someone. Fortunately, Smith was much too calm and professional for this tactic of reaction baiting. You ended up doing her a huge service by showing how rattled she has you and the NDP. If you're still convinced Notley is a wise choice, after watching her get so worked up over well rounded opposition arguments, going for strawman after strawman, and avoiding confronting her past choices(I found it very rich listening to her blame increased home power bills on the UCP when even a school child can follow the chain of events starting from a NDP lead expedited coal power phase out), then you are 100% only voting based on very basic, juvenile ideology. I trust neither of them to make good decisions, but there's only 1 of them thats been more than willing to own, and learn from, her mistakes. "Integrity" is likely a microaggressive word in the NDP manual.

Rachel Notley was a bad Premier and she would continue to be a bad Premier, if she was to be elected back into power. Danielle Smith has been an excellent Premier and she will continue to be an excellent Premier.

Notley wants to kill Alberta. Change my mind.

Smith looked calm & collective throughout the debate. Notley looked rattled & vindictive... its not a good look for her.

Smith got this one

Whenever Notley was asked “what would she do”, all she said is “I have a plan”, she didn’t outline a plan, didn’t provide ANY details. She CONSTANTLY CHOSE to attack Danielle Smith. Most of her attacks were based on what JASON KENNEY DID & Danielle had to CLEAN UP his mess. In 2015, Notley DID NOT fight for Alberta against Trudeau’s carbon tax, nor did she fight the tanker ban legislation & no pipeline legislation. She has no idea what the Alberta Sovereignty Act is. It’s to STOP Trudeau & Singh from INTERFERING in our provincial jurisdiction & WILL save jobs. Green energy is where jobs WILL BE LOST! Notley has a very SELECTIVE memory. When her & Trudeau implemented the carbon tax, it CHASED AWAY INVESTORS. Now they’re coming back. She helped Trudeau DESTROY Alberta’s economy, 183,000 jobs were lost & MANY Albertans LOST everything!! Trudeau & Singh tried to pull a fast one by burying a MASSIVE increase in Equalization BURIED in the budget, but the Danielle Smith was on top of it with help from the Conservatives & another organization. I have no doubt in my mind that Notley WILL give Trudeau & Singh ANYTHING & EVERYTHING they want, & assist them in SCREWING Albertans like SHE DID in 2015!! I agree with charging people who go to the emergency ward $5.00, because there are people who come for a sniffle & WASTES a doctors time, a takes up a bed. The $5.00 charge would ferret out the people who DO NOT need the emergency ward, when the Walk-in Clinic is where they SHOULD go. Danielle was very professional, poised, articulate, prepared with facts & statistics, unruffled & WILL do a great job representing Alberta & Albertans!!

Danielle Smith nailed this one out for me. I see a brighter tomorrow and hope on her❤🎉

Moderators always let Notley answer, but Smith gets ok that’s all we have time for on that question lol

Go Smith you got my vote!

Danielle got this in the bag

Its a shame Notley spent jer closing statemt to bash her opponent, instead of promoting her policies and party platform.

The moderators need to hold up their promise of not allowing the debators to interrupt each other.

Rachel-how are you going to lower utilities. Yap yap yap. We will have to find a way to lower utilities. That's not a Plan Rachel.

I love how the moderators didn’t “moderate” when Notley interrupted Smith. You had one job! 😅

Ndp literally have no solutions... Smith crushed her.

You Rock Premiere Danielle Smith! For the first time in my 34 years in life, I’m voting for you! 🥰🥰🥰

FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA DANIELLE SMITH KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK WE LOVE YOU DON'T ALLOW THOSE NDP SPREAD LIES ABOUT YOU. YOU REALLY ARE MUCH SMARTER THAN NOTLEY, SHE IS HAS BIN. NO SANE PERSON SHOULD TRUST NOTLEY

Snotley got destroyed. Danielle Smith for Albertans! 🎉

A vote for Notley is a vote for Trudeau, and we know how its going for him in Canada and on the world stage.

Thank you Danielle Smith👍👍

In reality Alberta is Texas North. Don't mess with Our Texas.

D. Smith has my vote.

Smith all the Way if you want to destroy Alberta vote Nutley

My vote is for Danielle Smith. She has a platform and will stand for and by Albertans. She has integrity and is willing to learn from her mistakes.

Notley... I will work daily to ..uh...uh... earn your trust.... lmao

Bravo Danielle, you tell them like it is.

All I'm hearing is Calgary Calgary Calgary. What about the rest of the province?

Notley spent a majority of her time attacking Smith and evading her past, while Smith focused on what she is doing and going to do. Smith really showed a lot of strength and outclassed Notley.

Danielle Smith won that debate. I agree with Smith, can't trust Notley and the NDP. A vote for the NDP is a vote to destroy Alberta. A vote for the NDP is a pat on the back to the Liberal/NDP federal partnership. UCP is a better future for Alberta and Canada

I love how Global that is supposed to be unbiased (hence airing the debate) is already presenting information that slams only one candidate in the description of this. Keep asking questions and follow the money people.

Notley has crazy eyes. Matches her mentality.

Notley wearing UCP colours. Haha. Awesome.

Moderators seemed to have been more in favor of Ms Notley. MS . Smith was often interrupted by Ms. Notley and the moderators allowed it. One sided in my opinion!

Just look at the faces. Daniel looks assertive and calm-an open book. Rachel looks like she’s in a stressful situation-words off her papers below😏

Never Notley

Don’t forget when notley was premier she was the most hated person in Alberta she said if elected she would start off where she ended beware when you vote

Even in the closing arguments. Notley had nothing to say but attacks on her opponent.

Watching from Saskatchewan… Danielle is doing me proud! You go girl✊👊💪

Hahaha Rachel’s body language is hilariously obvious. Shifty notley

Honestly this was extremely interesting watch you instantly can tell who is deflecting, not making eye contact and can’t even answer a question properly not only that interrupting! This helped sway my vote

Smith would have my vote if I was an Albertan

Smith got this one!

I hope the people don't vote for the NDP. We don't need that.

Premier Smith!!!! Congrats on the win

Notley proved she knows how to spend money, those smear ads must of cost a large fortune.

Tha calmness and confidence of Danielle Smith amazing.

We voted on carbon tax and transfer payments. WE VOTED TO GET RID OF THAT.

Notley is looking like she did a line before this debate.. Danielle focuses on issues, notley seems to focus on attacking Danielle for dealing with issues notley created.. lol. Watching notley, how can you trust her? Look at her mannerisms, her body language, her speech. This isn't even a debate. This is what domination looks like in a debate..

I’m sold on Smith after that. Notley has nothing of substance. Just attacks based on lies. Poor showing, Rachel.

Rachel Notely is horrific

Not sure what Notley is talking about, it's impossible to get family doctor's in Saskatchewan. I don't think she should be correcting anyone

Notley stumbled , Smith was strong.

Hey Notley. We already have jobs. Lots and lots of jobs. More jobs than we have people. Interesting how Notley immediately moved into attack formation right out of the gates. Pointing fingers and throwing accusations again. She had her chance and she BLEW IT.

LIES,LIES from Notley.

Smith is our future. Nutley is our death

Motley is part of the crew that will use your guns to make sure y'all does what ya told nd y'all take your shots when they say so.
