Expecting her to have all the solutions is quite unfair; not even senior, highly educated scientists do. To me, it's just funny how much she triggers the 'right', and particularly the right. It speaks more of a general state of partisan politics than anything.

Plus, this girl hasn't even been to Alberta yet; maybe she doesn't trash it in that way that people are thinking she will? None of us know her travel agenda or who she's meeting with. Maybe us, as Alberta citizens, should take the high route and take a 'wait and see' approach before deciding to criticize her?

What we do know is that Calgary City Council and the Tsuu T'ina Nation have already invited her to visit them while here:

Councillor invites activist Greta Thunberg to Calgary during Alberta visit

Oh I have no doubt that no matter what we do or say she's going to trash us.
