			It amazes me how much the narrative has openly encouraged people treating other people poorly, that people couldn’t even see that they did or continue to do just that by pounding on even once vaccines proved to be much less effective than originally thought. She is not perfect, but everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I do believe if given a chance she could do a lot of good for Alberta. Unless you prefer Trudeau to keep handing it to us as Albertans like the past two leaders have done.

I guess we will see in the Provincial election.
 
 I hope Notley joins you in this incredibly smart way to attack on Smith.
 
A warm reception by twitter in the comments section for Gondek on her response to Smith.
 
Look around the chickens are coming home to roost.

Oh, it won't even take much.  They'll just say there's no way they could vote NDP because lightbulbs or whatever, complain that there are no good choices, and then vote UCP anyway, because that's what they do.
 
I will be more surprised by an NDP win than a UCP one, no matter what a mess Danielle Smith creates.

A good summary of some of the stuff she touched on at her press  conference.  I will give her one thing, she seems to be willing to  engage with the media.  I'm not sure that's a good strategy since we all  get to hear what she's thinking , but hey, she's running with it.  I  don't expect this to last very long, and soon she'll be demonizing the  media for being so mean, ala Trump.

				By now, everyone understands that Ms. Smith is afraid of losing that  election to the NDP and entrenching a narrative that Rachel Notley can  motor her way back to the Premier’s Office.  
 
But there is a new excuse, Ms. Smith’s third. 
 
    To wit: The UCP riding association hasn’t had time to do their paperwork and find a candidate.

As the author mentions, that's a You CP problem.  A party not being ready has no bearing on democracy.  Figure it out.

				Premier Smith was openly bitter about vaccine mandates for health  care staff implemented during the COVID pandemic. And what do you do  when you don’t like what the management is doing? She asked  rhetorically. “You change the management! So that’s what we’re going to  do. We’re going to change the management.” 
 
    You probably didn’t read this here first, but you’re going to read it again: This will be a catastrophe.

Yes, what could possibly go wrong, putting naturopaths and anti-vaxers in charge of our healthcare?  Nothing, I'm sure.
 
	Quote:

				Former premier Jason Kenney still pouting about losing his job and not  getting his choice for a replacement, Ms. Smith said, although not in  those words. “I reached out to him and he has not accepted my invitation  for a meeting.” She said she’s confident he’ll get over it. I’m not so  sure.
			
		 | 
	 
	 
 
Little known, Kenney did actually offer a response, though it was late, as typical.  He said "I reject the premise of your premiership" and hung up. 
 
And of course, for those still confused about what type of person we are dealing with here...

			Wow.   I haven't followed Alberta politics too closely, but she apparently went to my high school a year ahead of me, and my classes FB group is all in a kerfuffle about her. 
 
I always thought Alberta's politics were akin to a purplish American state like I live in, but pretty shocked to see an Alberta premier blow right on by Desantis on the right wing looney spectrum.

 I hope Notley joins you in this incredibly smart way to attack on Smith.
 
A warm reception by twitter in the comments section for Gondek on her response to Smith.
 
Look around the chickens are coming home to roost.

She is not perfect, but everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I do believe if given a chance she could do a lot of good for Alberta. Unless you prefer Trudeau to keep handing it to us as Albertans like the past two leaders have done.

Respect is earned, not given, and of her planned actions, a lot of very smart people all across the political spectrum are saying it’s going to be bad for Alberta. I look forward to you scratching your head wondering why everything is so ####ed in the middle of winter.
