Trudeau Liberal candidate tells Albertans to ‘fit in or f-ck off’—Conservative MP responds

"It shouldn't surprise anyone that Justin Trudeau has acclaimed a candidate that believes Alberta should 'fit in or fuck off' and that 'Canada owes Alberta nothing,' when he has: Ignored the Alberta jobs crisis; Ruined the investment climate in Alberta with job-killing bills like C-69 and C-48; Failed to fix the problematic Fiscal Stabilization Program when Alberta needed it; Appointed his own Senators instead of democratically-elected Alberta Senators; and Failed to fight for Keystone XL expansion," said Rempel Garner.

"At a time when the country should be coming together to fight the pandemic and focus on the economic recovery – once again the Liberals choose to divide Canadians and Albertans," she continued.

Rempel Garner called on Trudeau to condemn the comments and "explain why this Alberta bashing is welcome in his party."

"He would never tolerate a candidate saying any other province should fit in or 'f-ck off', or that Canada owes other provinces nothing, so why does he tolerate it for Alberta?" she asked.

"Conservatives know that a strong Alberta means a strong Canada. We recognize the vast contributions Alberta has made to Confederation, and the inequities of the equalization program, which is why we've committed to an equalization reimbursement for the province," said Rempel Garner. “Unlike Justin Trudeau and his Calgary candidate – Canada's Conservatives will always stand up for Albertans.”

The comment from Dale-Walker was uncovered in a May 2020 blog post, in which she slammed Jason Kenney and the Conservative Party leadership of the province.

"Canada owes Alberta nothing. 'We' have made our bed consistently with conservative governments that have never prepared for the future," wrote Dale-Walker. "They've mismanaged boom money and made cuts during busts."

Dale-Walker said that Alberta is "not trying hard enough to fit in."

"If we were we would have higher taxes, pst [Provincial Sales Tax] and hopefully no deficit," she wrote.

"Sir Winston Churchill said it more eloquently, however his message was clear. Fit in or f-ck off," she wrote. "We Alberta need to start fitting in. Because quite frankly, we are not as superior as our government touts."
