They way Smith lies and presents alternative facts with such conviction is absolutely terrifying in a leader. The fact that her base believes in these lies shows such a lack of competency for that segment of Albertans. Trump enabled this political reckoning and not surprised that many in Alberta would fall for such deceit. How can you hold someone accountable when they spin reality to suit their own selfish desires and you buy into that rhetoric. I’m confident that this type of hypocrisy and US style republican politics would fail miserably in any other province but Alberta. The fact that Danielle Smith is leading and will most likely win this election is disappointing to democracy. The people need to hold their politicians accountable for behaviour such as lying yet Alberta is going to reward this self consumed deranged lunatic with four more years. Prove me wrong Alberta there is still time yet the outcome seems almost certain.
