Danielle Smith's panel criticized as an exercise with a pre-determined outcome

Alberta's premier launched a province-wide listening tour this week. She's looking for input on a range of ideas to determine if they should be put to the public in a referendum next year. Some of the ideas are controversial and have been championed by Danielle Smith. The leader of the NDP is calling the whole process a 'sham.' The Political Panel tackles whether the outcome of Alberta Next is already pre-determined. (Photo credit: The Canadian Press)

Premier Smith's panel makes changes to pension, policing surveys to fix ‘oversight'

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith speaks during a press conference in Edmonton on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson Premier Danielle Smith's government is making changes to its online surveys about Alberta's relationship with Ottawa, despite thousands having already filled out and submitted their opinions. Smith says the old and new surveys will be combined, and says she doesn't believe that will skew their findings. The surveys were launched three weeks ago with Smith's touring town hall panel, dubbed Alberta Next, to gauge public sentiment toward possible referendums on distancing Alberta from federal programs and agencies. The original surveys asked respondents to comment on topics such as a provincial pension plan and police force, but didn't include an option to vote no on those proposals. It's not clear when the surveys were changed, but the reworked version gives respondents a chance to say no. The Opposition NDP says Smith's government is manipulating the panel and the survey to stir up separatist sentiment, and says the revised survey further reinforces its irrelevancy. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 17, 2025. Jack Farrell and Lisa Johnson, The Canadian Press
