Premier Rachel Notley is showing contempt for the media, and more importantly Albertans, by banning The Rebel. Since taking power, the NDP government has often been more Stephen Harper than Justin Trudeau, curtailing reporters’ access and ending press conferences when it didn’t like what was being asked. What began as petty has evolved into something far worse.
