Smith, who is in the running in a byelection in Brooks-Medicine Hat, attended a grand opening event for Medicine Hat College's new Co-op Wellness Commons.

The premier says she was not using the occasion as a campaign stop and was only there in her role as Alberta's premier.
Quote:
"Certainly, it goes against both the spirits of the acts and, in fact, historical comments made by Danielle Smith," said MLA David Eggen.

The situation he referred to was when Smith filed a complaint with Alberta's ethics commissioner when then-Education Minister Gordon Dirks authorized some new modular classrooms in Calgary-Elbow – the riding where he was a byelection candidate.

Dirks was later cleared of any wrongdoing, but the ethics commissioner said his actions could be described as "blatant political opportunism."

"Look, I said I'd ignore federal laws I don't like, and you all cheered for me and made me Premier. Did you really think I wouldn't just ignore ANY laws I don't like? Really?"

This should not be a surprise.

Did you put your couple bucks in so that you could influence things?

A premier and minister getting flak for making announcements ahead of a by election? Why does that sound so familiar?

So her actions today are going to walk back anything she's said in the past. What a flip flopper.

Guys guys, she repealed the law in her mind, just like Trump declassified documents. It's what you get for being a government leader.

Too hard to spread nonsense when you go blocking all the mindless drones.

I sure hope her next move is to protect our second amendment rights, the Libs are ridiculous and reek of pure fascism.

Ok everyone, I'm convinced. Danielle Smith will be the greatest Premiere to govern for 8 months in the history of our province, we should build statues of her listening to the little people and protecting the elderly from assault.


Quote:
It’s true that Alberta’s COVID restrictions were lax compared to other parts of the country. However, what rules were imposed were viciously enforced — to a degree that proved alienating for much of my province, one that prides itself on respecting its citizens enough to allow them to make their own choices.
That Alberta became the place of jailed pastors and takedowns of teenage hockey players by cops on community ice rinks is no accident.
The rules were viciously enforced by people that were fragrantly and repeatedly breaking the law! People that ####ed around found out!

Quote:
I have sat in on Zoom calls with crying gym owners speaking about how AHS Public Health officials came into their gyms backed by armed cops to check for “exertion levels.” People have already forgotten this, but when gyms were allowed to operate, they were drastically reduced in scope.
Public health officials with armed cops! Sounds like China!

Quote:
I heard stories of restaurants reported for allegedly violating restrictions by vindictive former customers, exes or family members. Once targeted, they were subject to daily check-ins by geeks with clipboards, holding their very livelihoods in their pens.
But wait, it gets worse. GEEKS! WITH....CLIPBOARDS

Quote:
I’ve seen the emails from family members incensed that their elderly relatives were tested, without warning or consent, with swabs shoved up frail nostrils, amounting to assault, over and over again.
WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE FRAIL SENIOR'S NOSES THAT WERE ASSAULTED REPEATEDLY?

Quote:
That, my friends, is why Danielle Smith is premier.

And why she will be great.
I'm convinced. Stunning argument. All hail Danielle the great listener of our times.

Hey man! There are people in Downtown Vancouver that'd give their left nut for a Van!

Tents just happen to be cheaper to park.

Who are you to be looking down on people living in Vans? Who do you think you are man??

I don't want political parties in our municipal politics. Completely not necessary.

Can Danielle Smith and the deplorable right just #### off already? This is such a colossal embarrassment to our province and people.
