- Reposted by Lisa Young 🇨🇦🇺🇦Danielle Smith "We just want to be free." Free that is of every fed law that imposes restraints on the oil & gas industry while also seeking to require other provinces & First Nations (presumably thro' federal power/law) to bend the knee (not freedom) to AB's demands. Glorious asymmetry. #abpoli
