WATCH: Smith says town halls one of the best parts about summer

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said one of her favourite parts about summer is being able to get out on the road and hold town halls. When Smith listens to people, she said a notebook comes out and has their ideas jotted down. “There’s so many great ideas that come up, and I don’t want to forget anything,” said Smith in a video. “Even if you have people who you disagree with, you can always find some area of common ground.” .While Alberta has many positive qualities, she said she knows what its greatest strength is. She added it is not any politician. “It’s you,” she said. Smith said at the Alberta United Conservative Party Bonnyville Town Hall in July an amended Alberta Bill of Rights that will include protections for medical decisions will be tabled in the fall.
