I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Danielle Smith's power comes from convincing Albertans that they have an enemy in Ottawa
If she didn't distract Albertans with her Ottawa-is-to-blame schtick she'd actually have to fix our problems
& fixing our problems would get in the way of her corruption
