At some point you need to accept that the style of "journalism" that has these gotcha-type headlines that make it look like centrist- and left-leaning politicians are somehow avoiding questions or unable to answer questions are propaganda targeted specifically at your demographic. Younger people fall for it, too, but since you post this stuff more than anybody else (besides, maybe, CaptainCrunch) I'm reaching out to you. They are constantly trying to dupe you, dude. You can't keep falling for this crap.
Rachel Notley isn't some idiot. She is intelligent, experienced, qualified and an adept politician. She isn't going to be barked it into confusion and not knowing how to answer a question. Some doorknob yelling stupidity at her isn't going to cause her to fumble or leave her so dumbfounded that she can't formulate an answer. It's just that if she answers it gives this fake reporter a platform he hasn't earned and is actively causing a disservice to actual journalism and the imparting of our politicians' perspective to the populace. It needs to be ignored by everyone, including you. I promise if there was dumb left-wing plant (and that's what this guy is: a conservative plant whose goal it is to further right-wing propaganda) we would do the same and definitely be open to you calling us out if we, too, were tricked.
