Sure, ya, just use politicians to overrule the health and justice system. Just like most banana republics do. She hasn't even been elected yet. WTF is going on here? She has no mandate from Albertans, doesn't represent us. You want a mandate? Go to the polls. Until then this is a farce.
Does a premier even have the power to grant amnesty?

Ministry of Red Tape, you better check out the numbers of ministers under Rachel Notley. Socialists are just the worst with redundant bureaucrats.

The inmates are running the asylum now.

I imagine Verna Yiu is extremely happy to have been long ago jettisoned from this episode of looney tunes.

The list of MD's I personally know who have left/retired early is now at 17 and growing.

Therapeutics is just code for hydroxychloroquine.

Wow does she ever have a gigantic axe to grind.

My MLA's office sent a copy/pasted response to all 3 of my emails.

In Gmail, the conversation thread marks repeated content purple, and both responses were 100% purple.

I guess my MLA is a bit better than I thought, he has written me back twice and called once for a 15 minute conversation.

I ended up replying saying I didn't appreciate the canned response. I got no reply after that.

My employer currently forces us to stay at home for 5 days if you or a family member had Covid, despite no government regulations requiring this. Is Smith proposing that policies like these should be illegal? How can you even enforce how private companies mandate use of sick leave and working from home?

I think the NDP only had that many vaguely qualified MLAs when they got elected so had to have a small cabinet.

We're past that now, and the UCP has selected someone less than vaguely qualified to be premier.

Call me cynical, but they get salary boosts for these roles, right? Maybe she is buying them off with our tax dollars.

are you saying that conservatives are more irresponsible with public funds than other parties, I'm shocked, everyone said they were the fiscally responsible ones.

Next your going to tell me they don't have a long term plan for financially sustaining all of the services we expect. Or that their economic policies would do little to address on concerns of 90% of people.

Spoiler!
There are plenty of things to criticize, but really? An opinion article from how many years ago?? It’s ancient history. Like, back when that was written Justin Trudeau was still painting his face black.
