In an interview with CTV’s Question Period, the province’s 14th premier said "I haven’t been asked. I am happy to help in any way. This is something Canadians have been thinking about for a long time and I think the key is that there has to be a lot of voices at the table."
It’s led to speculation that Trudeau might appoint one or many special advisors from the West to address the gap in representation.She added that any attempts to stimulate economic growth don’t have to come at the expense of climate action or Indigenous reconciliation. In another interview on Question Period, Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi – who the prime minister mentioned multiple times in his first media availability on Wednesday following the election– said he hasn’t been asked either, but has had a “firm and frank exchange of views” with Trudeau about immediate next steps.
Nenshi added that the concerns bubbling out of Canada’s foremost Western pockets prompting separatist rumblings are "very real, very frustrating, and very deep.""The challenge now is that the economy is firing on all cylinders, almost everywhere in the country, unemployment is at record lows, except in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and suddenly we, who are used to being the economic engine, feel we’re sputtering.
What’s her EI running out?
So the one who single handily built the basis for an NDP win in Alberta is now willing to help a party set on destroying Alberta’s economy. No thanks.
This message brought to you by the Liberal Party of Canada.
Redford, Nenshi, Simon. How do these people think. Are they going out of their way to alienate AB?
Need to pick someone more competent than Redford, she has no idea what Alberta needs.
They have a voice in Parliament that represents their views. Do their Conservative representatives plan on staying away from Parliament Hill the way their Ontario counterparts have avoided Queens Park?
While I agree the country needs to come together, it should not include Redford. She spent extravagantly and had to step down
Oh man I need a movie to get to the truth about this time in alberta politics
She’s worse than neshi
Absolutely not!!!!!
Needs to be a priority and quick!
Lol, who came up with this hairbrained idea?
Someone wants a lifetime senate position
This is like the crook leading the blackface.
You can’t be serious ?
Not sure anyone needs her help based her lack of ethics.
I became a Wildrose member as a result of Redford.
Albertan's hate Redford, she was utterly corrupt and completely incompetent, which means she'd fit right in with the Liberals. But nobody in this province would listen to or respect her opinion.
Lol we rejected her years ago. She was as crooked as Trudeau. And albertans have not forgotten.
She couldn’t manage a paper route. Absolutely no credibility with the people of Alberta which wouldn’t help us at all. She created much of the mess we are in and is just trying to find a cushy spot with whoever will take her.
Job search...^^
Saskberta division. BC Yukon NWT want no part of this debacle.
Former Cosby wants his cosplay back. Also: he drugged women.
But would Albertans want her Lol. This is a joke.
First, Alberta isn’t growing through economic hardships, it’s going through economic mismanagement
Then she should have run for office. This is pure opportunism. Then again, that's the essence of liberalism
No thanks
Gotta get that Senate appointment!!!
For those not familiar outside Canada looking into see this. Allison Redford is perhaps the most reviled past Premier in modern memory. Years ago she had some massive spending scandals and was forced to resign as Premier and from legislature.../1
🤣😂🤣😂
She can help him navigate the separation process.
Hahaha someone’s desperate for a job.
Redford_Alison ***** is pure cancer in this province, and for good reason....
Stay out of it, he’s created a s—pot of the whole Country!
🤮 She killed the Conservative party in Alberta.
Funny Albertans, we elected Redford but that wasn't what we wanted. 2019 they elected all those conservatives but Nobody to the Grownups table..That's not what we wanted...And the rest of Canada is supposed to take them seriously..
🤮
She would fit right in at the trough with Trudaeu.
“Red”ford can keep her liberal bias to herself. She’s the start of the demise for AB.
Guess she’s looking for work?
JASON KENNEY IS THE DONALD TRUMP OF ALBERTA. (some people are seeing it - and offering what help they can) cdnpoli abpoli ableg
Like leaving the fox to mind the chicken pen. Piss off!!
🤢 🤮
Hahahahahahahahaha
Just threw up in my mouths
That crooked loser? Hahahaha
Of course CTV would say this. They're Liberal. Why doesn't CTV just tell the truth for a change. The western division will NOT be entrusted to the Liberals. They're liars like CTV is.
Needs a job and attention and taxpayers funds imo
They aren’t that complicated.
You mean the person who tried to build a palace with Albertans taxpayers money! No thanks!
🤢🤢🤢🤮
So, if Cons would’ve won the election, would all of you still be asking for wexit?
The fox looking after the chicken house come on folks let’s learn from these silly past corrupt politicians
Any reason you couldn’t have the headline in the form of an actual sentence? ‘..support federal Liberals navigate..’ not even a ‘sic’ if it’s a quote?
This is why she is former
I’m not sure she speaks for Alberta. Her experiment as premier did not go very well and ended very abruptly.
No thank you.
Alison Redford was a despised premier Alberta ever had now the new darling of the MSM
That’s because she’s as CORRUPT as the Blackface waste of skin JustinTrudeau and she’s only make things worse!
The most despised Premier Alberta has had is ready to assist the Liberals? Go figure!
He’s all Cow Dung not cowboy
She’s just looking for another free penthouse.
Now there's a lead balloon. Take the socialist twit that got dumped and say you're giving Alberta a voice. I hope gmbutts is smarter than that!
Allison Redford: the Red Tory and closet Liberal who helped to usher in the NDP.
Ha. They’re trying to make it sound like one big misunderstanding. Too funny.
She’d cause a separation referendum for sure!
Alberta is a land of opportunity these days
Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark
She screwed Alberta we don't need that again.
She won't help. More unpopular than Notley.
Excellent
Wish there was a laugh icon.
Alberta doesn’t need or want her. They want to separate, not be controlled by the likes of pigshittrudeau.
Literally no one wants her.
Politician would accept pay day? Noooooo.....
Yeah she had a really good grasp on how Albertans felt!
Someone’s looking for a Cabinet gig. This crook would fit right in.
Don’t even bother, just send your lawyers so we can speed the process up. You had your chance Canada, you’ve spoken and we heard loud and clear.
Just what Alberta need. Queen Alli teaming up with Chaiman Trudeau. That will certainly make westerners feel heard NOT. Redford was shutout and disliked in AB almost as much Trudeau. Both are self entitled twits
The election results, illustrated.
Of course she would, birds of a feather
This witch is still alive!!
She'll need a new office paid for by the taxpayers preferably with a moat, you know to keep the lower class away from her.
Forget it. Alison doesn't speak for me. She has more than her share of screw ups.
That will divide us even more
She was the worst of them all. Please leave her out of it.
Gilly_Bean42 This story is about Queen Allison I. Possibly the worst politician west of Trudeau?
I see that he's only talking to left-wing politicians, not the Conservatives who won the election in Alberta and Saskatchewan! Notley, Nenshi and the useless Redford! None care about Albertans only themselves and they wouldn't even have to be elected! Talk about a stitch up!
Yeah that’ll do the trick...
No a thousand times no. Ask Notley
All the deadbeats and liberal supporters will be coming out now looking for this free ride! nenshi , Redford_Alison , we need to separate!!! Enough bullshit! Notley will be putting her hand up next RachelNotley sickening... CPC_HQ
That’s because she’s as CORRUPT as the liberal_party & TrudeauBlackface
She has always been a Liberal
She’s good at whistling money just like the liberals
There's no such thing as a progressive conservative and she fits progressive to a tee. She's a Notley in body and Turdo in thought.
This is a terrible choice, no conservative likes Redford.
All she needs is a new office.
Allison “The Red” supports Trudeau? I’m stunned. Really.
Who the f cares
She was always a clown, some things never change. She ran the province like she was some pseudo NDP/Lib so why would this surprise anyone.
And we should all be surprised - WHY? She is a liberal/progressive first and an Albertan second. She also had to resign in disgrace. Alberta Independence is the way forward.
Asking Allison Redford to speak for the West is the moral equivalent of asking Jane Fonda to speak for Vietnam War POWs.
Hell no!!!
She spent like a drunken Liberal. Mostly on her own comforts.
The least popular and most entitled premier in Albertas history wants to help Liberals. Who would have thought?
She was a liberal masquerading as a conservative, she should be in jail with her outrageous spending, she’s part of the reason she’s we’re in this mess.
She is a big reason Alberta ended up with NDP. It makes sense now why she was so terrible, she was actually a liberal!
Good god! No thank you.
ctvnews Hmm, asking help from a Premier voters fired. Not sure how that would be received. 😉
Well goody goody for you Alison. Trying to get some more tax payer money in your bank account eh!!
Ah Yes, ladies and gentlemen Ms. Allison Redfraud! Still looking for a free place to stay? Do you miss your comfy Redfraud Towers?
Um..... no
I think the west would prefer BradWall306 or BrianJeanAB voices we can trust for a positive outcome.
Well that is good of you Allison, money seems to be a factor I AM SURE, you are not welcome!
Honour among thieves.
Why would she or anyone else think her opinion would garner any support from AB? She was turfed for good reason.
Pass
How many more left wingers are going to come forward hoping for a special appointment by Trudeau. cdnpoli
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Guess that is why she is the former! Thank God
The CON-Queen? Does she want her sky palace back too?
Alberta will have no economy once it’s oil runs out but sure go awf
The WORST premier in Alberta history. Albertans, please stop the separation nonsense. It makes me think of a child threatening to run away from home.
She was the worst premier this country ever had.
who exactly would care what that freeloader thinks?
They keep picking the worst possible people almost as if deliberate
So essentially she’s begging for a job. Wouldn’t that be the better headline?
Mmmm? Looking for a pay check from the feds
Seriously is this a joke..
Too many stupid polticians. Alberta shud break and those who don't like it shud leave.
Sure! Another good one like him! Well known for her 'honesty'!
Albertans gave Redford the boot for good reason
Her opinion means nothing to me! She was just as corrupt as them all!!
Problem for her is that Albertans are so happy they got rid of her and never want her back. Time to move on with her life.
Didn’t we vote her ass out because of wild spending. No wonder she is supporting Trudeau.
I know it's early in Western Canada, but this headline is the 💩 Did anyone read it before posting
Must be looking for a new cushy job.
This does not seem like a real sentence
We said goodbye Felicia!
Maybe LukaszukAB should help too. They both would love another go at helping to destroy Alberta.
No thank you.
