How is this positive for the province going forward? How is this good leadership?
At this point of the pandemic, no one is changing anyone's mind about the efficacy of vaccines. People believe what they want and the arguments have all been revisited hundreds of times over. This is why Danielle Smith is already a failure as Premier. She should have left the issue alone, and governed in a manner that united Albertans and focused on our future, not revisiting and dredging up our past.
14Roman14... you were praising Smith and her focus on rights earlier in this thread. I'd argue she used her first comment as premier to throw gasoline on a fire that was seemingly going out or nearly dead. It was stupid on her part and an incredible failure as Premier.

It's bad for Alberta but it's her only strategy to win...energize the base. Get the idiot segment of conservatives all riled up about identity politics, AB sovereignty and anti vaxx discrimination.
She's an idiot but even stupid people can follow a simple script and this one is right out of the republican playbook down south. Nothing gets your base out to vote like riling them up about "rights". Once they're all frothing at the mouth angry they'll vote and they'll encourage their friends to vote too.
Our only hope is enough of the province aren't total and complete morons and don't fall for it. Hopefully it just encourages more people to flip to vote NDP because they're so disgusted with how for the UCP have fallen.
