The PMs job is to align govt for the future. He reorg’d & created a position ‘Leader of the negotiating team between US, Mexico & Canada’ A VIP if ever there was one
She didn’t want the job & quit (just like Wilson-raybould)
Reorg’s happen all the time & NOBODY OWNS their position
She was not fired

Who could have predicted this? Well, everyone.

Trump is removing tariffs from Belarus potash, while threatening massive tariffs on Canadian potash. Make it make sense.
Will MAGA supporting farmers in red states even know or care that Trump sold his soul to Putin to keep fertilizer costs low?

Here’s her brilliant ideas for ‘using’ the taxes we all pay to support Albertans/ / Canadians. JFC

Here is a transcript of what the premier said.
When I came in, I thought, why is $40 billion of our budget in an Alberta Health Services agency we have no oversight over and then when you look at schools, we have $10 billion of our budget that we've delegated authority to 61 school authorities that we have no oversight over. We have another huge chunk that we give to universities that we have no oversight over, and on and on and on it goes. So I think you need to have a conservative vision for what you're going to do with the government’s spending. And our conservative vision is very different than the progressive vision. Our conservative vision is to partner with private entities, whether in the private sector, whether in the nonprofit sector, or whether it's charities, to deliver on the services that people care about. When you think about historically, where did all of the supports for widows and orphans come from? Where did the supports for the vulnerable sector come from? It started with faith-based communities. And government said, ‘Wait a minute, we've got a patchwork here. Why don't we step in to help?’ But in doing so, they have often crowded out some of that incredibly important nonprofit work. And so we're restoring that. We're finding a way to create a structure in government where you do have competition and choice and funding following patients or students or clients, so that you can create an internal market. So that is what I want to do, is I want to apply principles that I know work in the private sector to how we deliver government services, and we're making great strides in a lot of different areas. I think education is probably the greatest example in Alberta of how we do that. You have a choice of sending your kids to a public school or a Catholic school or a charter school or an independent school, or even home school if you want. We have different funding models for each of those. But in Alberta, we have parents willing to pay a portion of their own money to homeschool thei…

This woman is absolutely horrible. Vile, evil, cruel, heartless

Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

I can’t help but notice a glaringly obvious difference between Canada and the US.

One country is being led by a brilliant, focused, highly-educated, strategic leader and the other country led by an idiot.

1/ The Prairies gave Canada Medicare. Today, the Alberta government passed a bill to take it away and replace it with American-style, two-tier healthcare, all while Carney looks the other way.

That's not who we are. That's the system our party fought to leave behind.

It should be obvious to all Albertans now Smith has attacked judges, and by doing so the law, that she doesn't believe in democracy
Democracy requires that we all must abide by the laws of the land
Smith wants to elevate herself to be above the law
She wants to be the only gatekeeper

It's grading season. Like most polisci profs, I'm inundated with essays on the state of democracy.

Here is a transcript of Danielle Smith's remarks on her radio show yesterday.

Let's break down her comments to see just how problematic and uninformed they are.
"The will of Albertans is not expressed by a single judge appointed by Justin Trudeau and never faces any kind of recall campaign, never faces any kind of election. That's what we are talking about is that in a lot of these cases: the people have told us through our consultation, through our elections, the kinds of things they want us to do, and then we go and do them, and then the court can override it. And again, most of the judges are appointed by Ottawa and not by us. An unelected judge is not synonymous with democracy. Democracy is when elected officials who have to face the electorate every four years get to make decisions. That's what democracy is."
