Holy mendacious framing, Batman!
He did not clear Danielle Smith or her government of wrongdoing. He very clearly made it explicit that they wouldn't provide evidence that might implicate them.

UCP: We are the economic engine of Canada! Without Alberta, the entire country would be broke!

Also UCP: We are too broke to fund education properly. Asking for the national average is “reaching for the moon”!

Make it make sense.

Seconds after proposing a "complexity cap" instead of addressing class sizes, Smith was asked what that means...

Her response?

"I don't know"

So we're back to doing complex policy via "Dani free associates words" again.

What research? Because the first five I pull up all say lower class sizes = better student achievement. One even discusses a side benefit of lower levels of teacher burnout. I’d bet his study was conducted by the same guy who linked vaccines to autism.

Every election worker associated with TBA should be summarily fired.

Also, and on a related note - is there a law against impersonating Elections officials? If there isn’t, there sure should be!

When is everybody going to clue the f*ck in that Oil companies don't give a damn about people including their employees.
While govts keep subsidizing O&G they'll keep raking in the cash while downsizing the workforce & destroying the planet.

Stop subsidizing our demise

Smith on AISH/ADAP...

"We don't want to be running two different programs"

And...

She doesn't want to "trap people in a single program"

All in the same answer.

This is BONKERS!

A UCP voter called in and challenged Smith on her vaccine policy...

He brought facts and could back them up.

She responded by ignoring existing infrastructure in pharmacies and straight up lying about NACI recommendations.
