Danielle Smith defended intervening in the Ministry of Advanced Education to get Jordan Petersen's school accredited in Alberta by saying he was lowering the cost of education.
Meanwhile, she has frozen U of Alberta's operating grant for years, causing the annual tuition hikes.

Smith says she supports accreditation for Jordan Peterson's online school to correct what she says is a lack of freedom of speech in Alberta's universities.

Danielle Smith the Authoritarian Hates Judges
How dare unelected judges curb the power of the Premier's Office?
The Constitution Act 1982, you say? Nasty thing. Very inconvenient for authoritarians like @abdaniellesmith.

Is the UCP a separatist party?
Former PC cabinet minister Mark Norris admits there are reasons to think that but instead argues they're a party of "half-wits" given how many mistakes they've made, and how often they have to fix their own legislation.

It was inevitable that there would be a backlash and that NDP MLAs would also see recalls (I expect there will be more, simply out of spite). So hear me out: we could expend energy on 19+ recalls or we could simply HAVE AN ELECTION.
It’s the best democratic tool we have.

Recall petitions have been approved for UCP MLAs Peter Singh, Tanya Fir and Adriana LaGrance, along with NDP MLA Amanda Chapman.

A broken health care system.
More people will die due to the UCP's ineptitude, hubris and malfeasance.
There is an economic cost, but the cost of illness and death ... it's staggering to think this was the UCP's plan.

Even if the Alberta government doesn’t get a pipeline built, never underestimate their ability to leverage projects to nowhere that move public dollars into private pockets.
Meanwhile, they’ll divide FNs against one another and deepen colonial harms. It’s their MO, and increasingly Carney’s too.

plus obliterating Indigenous consultation through ministerial discretion, which is the win-win for the UCP and feds. Now the UCP get to combine lack of consultation with virtually unlimited criminalization powers via Critical Infrastructure Act.

No one should be under any illusions about who the base of the UCP are.
Separatists and far-right radicals have been given care and feeding by UCP Premiers since 2019. One got thrown overboard because it wasn’t enough. Catering hasn’t mollified them either.
