Years ago, I warned that Danielle Smith would run out of enemies in political realm and turn her sights on the courts.
Her latest attacks aren't some high-minded philosophical critique of judicial supremacy.
They're pure populist pablum, specially crafted to remove yet another check on her power.

It’s been 10 years of the First Nations Leadership Gathering — and this year’s was the largest yet.
This week, more than 1200 meetings took place between First Nations from across BC and the provincial government. It’s an opportunity to listen, learn and find ways to make a meaningful difference.

No matter what Trump’s ambassador says, Canadians aren’t “mean and nasty” for choosing to buy Canadian and travel locally.
We’re taking a stand against Trump’s threats to our sovereignty and standing on our own two feet.
