I'm thankful she's here - it's heartening to have a no-brainer option for an intelligent, eloquent and incredibly competent leader and I can't wait to cast my vote for her.
Thinking she should leave? I don't get that. By any measure she's proven herself to be a good person and a very good leader. And she's thoughtful enough to want what's best for all Albertans while being mindful that we're all Canadians, too. And compared to Danielle Smith? They're not even playing the same game. Danielle Smith is the pigeon ####ting all over the chess board and screeching she's the winner while Notley is Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen by comparison.

If you want to use the chess analogy, Smith is that chess player putting the vibrator up her butt to cheat.
