"My husband's an adviser to me, and that's allowed because he's married to me, so I can ask for his advice on anything I choose," Smith said. "And he happens to have 25 years in media, much of it covering issues of rail. And so I asked for his advice as we had a multitude of different projects coming forward to seek guidance on the path forward."
Spouse of Rachel Notley, Lou Arab, posted this on threads
I am married to former Alberta Premier Rachel Notley.
When she was in office, despite my having two decades of professional experience in labour relations, I was not allowed within 10 light years of setting labour policy.
I was not actually allowed to lobby any minister on ANY subject whatsoever.
And that wasn’t just good ethics, that was the law. Enforced by the ethics commissionor.
Danielle Smith is full of it.

Of course, there's an issue there. He might be the most excellent expert the world has ever known on rail or whatever topic...but he was never elected. You can't just have the guy involved in policy decisions because his wife is the Premier. Can anyone imagine a business where the wife of the CEO was making decisions or involved in this? The knives would be out immediately.
