So once again the Premier of Alberta continues to lie to the people of Alberta, without even batting an eye. Obviously, hyperbole and lies are her leadership style. She said on the “air”, heard by hundreds, that she has been talking to people in the Alberta judicial system about cases of people who have been charged with health code violations during the COVID crisis. Then her justice minister issues a letter saying she didn’t speak to anyone in the courts about cases.
So who is lying? If the minister is lying and covering for the Premier then he needs to resign. If the Premier did, as she stated, then she needs to be investigated for interfering in the legal system. Either way the it’s quite obvious that the Premier thinks she above the law and is the “QUEEN” of Alberta. She thinks she has some kind of pardoning power. WRONG!!!
Let’s not forget how she went after the PM for sticking his nose into the SNC-Lavalin case. Now she thinks she can do the same thing in Alberta without consequence. HYPOCRITE!
So far she has introduced a bill that will make Alberta and outcast from federation. She has backed away from her promises to the anti-vacs faction and these were the people who helped her win the leadership race.
Also let’s not forget this is the same way she was when she was leader of the Wild Rose and how she sold that party out by crossing the floor to the then PC party. Why, did she do it, because she thought it would help her get what she wanted, but what it did was destroy both parties.
Now that she has finally got what she wanted, she thinks she is going to be able do anything that she wants to improve HER status and standing. She could care less about the people of Alberta.
Unfortunately she is playing a dangerous game. She is neither smart enough or has the backing of enough prominent Albertans to hold on to power. She and a small minority of Albertans, like some of our neighbours to the South, believe this ultra-right conservative anti-canadian movement is the way to govern. They don’t listen to anyone who disagrees with them and are hell bent on punishing and going after their perceived enemies.
I am sure that we will not see an election this May and the UCP will hold off calling one until their poll numbers improve or they will change the law.
Danielle Smith does not want to GOVERN she wants to RULE.
