So Danelle Smith is our new ALBERTA Premier, and got the job without having to run in a provincial election. I think there is something wrong with a system that puts someone in the top PROVINCIAL POSITION, and doesn’t have any kind of mandate from the people of Alberta. I get that Kenney step down and the UCP need to elect a new leader, but that she automatically becomes Premier is not RIGHT! However, until there is a change in the way our parliamentary system works, this is who has ALBERTA in charge.
The one saving grace is that she cannot sit in the chamber, present bills, or enter into debates. I don’t even think she can be a member of the UCP caucus, yet. So she is going to have a tough time getting the bills she wants passed into law.
She has already made several political gaffs and having back track on statements she’s made in the past and currently.
Also she is going to try to win a seat in Medicine Hat/Brooks riding, because she thinks an easy win. So easy in fact she is not even campaigning there. I wonder if the people in the riding realize they are being used and she doesn’t know them or care to. she just want the seat, so she can sit in the legislative assembly.
So just remember all you voters in Medicine Hat, if you vote her in, how long will it be before she “sells you out, like she did the Wild Rose.” Danielle Smith believes the what good for ALBERTA is what is good for HER, not the people of Medicine Hat/Brooks or people ALBERTA.
