On top of how obviously not true this is, this statement is pretty rich coming from a guy who was voted out of his position by his community and had to campaign in the friendliest riding imaginable just to keep his job.

Alberta’s separatist leaders might be clowns, but the threat they pose with an oil-hungry administration in Washington is no joke.

It’s time for Danielle Smith to pick a lane — and stop playing both sides of an existential threat to her country. #cdnpoli

Alberta’s separatist movement is no joke
For months now, Alberta’s premier has been catering to the separatists who dominate the membership of her United Conservative Party. Their appetite just keeps growing.

Perfect analogy.
Just making things up as they go along.

If this were continuous improvement, we'd say they were building an airplane while flying it.

This populist policymaking is more like like removiny the bolts mid-flight and replacing them with duct tape, ideology, and wishful thinking.

I've never minded paying taxes because in return I got healthcare, my kids were educated & social safety nets that made society a better, safer place to live
Smith wants to change all that
She only wants certain people to get healthcare & education even though they pay taxes

She is such an awful person
Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

That the UCP are willing to kill this and get in a fight with their rural base speaks to how vulnerable they are to even BIGGER lawsuits from Australian coal mining billionaires.

I have met several small c conservatives who are positively stoked to sign the recall for Jason Stephen. These recalls aren't partisan.
🔥 The Recall movement isn't a "leftist" stunt; it's pure citizen fury fighting for democracy and rights. The UCP MLAs have such hubris. Pundits are shocked how genuinely angry the province is. Recalls will hurt these MLAs more than they think. #ABpoli #ABLeg 1/2

I heard the canvassers for the recall petition for Jason Stephen needed to print more forms in the first half hour of collecting signatures yesterday. Had a steady stream of people for four hours. Good job Red Deer South! I don't like recall legislation, but the UCP made their own bed. #totalrecall

3) An "unelected judge" may not be synonymous with democracy, but it sure is a necessary component of liberal democracy as we know it.

The premier is describing an illiberal form of democracy akin to mob rule.

Overall, she gets a failing grade.
