Now that conservatives have manipulated the naïve minds of our supporters into distrusting doctors, scientists, and media, it’s time we start sowing the seeds of division for judges and the courts.

That’s the path to true authoritarianism!

WOW!

When asked if the cancellation of Surgical Contracts vindicated former health CEO Athana Mentzelopolous...

Smith said no...

Then claimed that govt knew there were pricing problems, ignoring that Lagrange herself set the pricing via ministerial order!

This is her end game. She's never been so blatant about publicly before. Danielle Smith is a traitor to the very fabric of what Canada is.

#ABPoli #ABleg
This is Smith attacking the courts in their legitimate capacity as a check on the power of politicians.

Make no mistake about it, she hates the courts _BECAUSE_ they hold the power to check her actions as a legislator.

The goal is to tear things up.

Smith: “I’m not a separatist, but here’s me going to bat for the separatists!”

If the courts don’t determine what’s constitutional, who does? My drunk uncle?

Not politicians, that’s for sure. They have insufficient knowledge to decide these things.

This is not what Canadians want or need.

This stinks of an oil and gas lobby driven agenda that is resulting in the needless sinking of the Federal Governments' own climate reputation this week by the decisions of this department. #CDNpoli

So...

In the course of less than 24 hours, Danielle Smith's right hand man is apparently attempting to delegitimize both the courts AND journalists.

Is there a name for that?

(There is)

It's infuriating that the sheer volume of "gobbledygook" from the non-medical expert Premier forces us to spend all our energy fact-checking, instead of just trusting the data. Show the contracts. Stop the spin. The people paying the bills deserve basic math. We need transparency. #ABleg #ABpoli
This is literally NONSENSE. Absolutely nonsensical!

Reminder: the Premier has NO medical expertise whatsoever, and seems to be getting horrendous advice (if she isn’t intentionally trying to mislead here)

The whole "federal judges aren't impartial" bs is stolen from fascism in the US. There's no basis for it in Canadian judicial reality. Canadian fascism is awful enough without Danielle Smith importing an even worse version of it from Americans. #abpoli

Given the degree to which the UCP have alleged ill intent in the recall process, this needs to be addressed quickly.

No. Canada wants a good fighter, jobs and not a sovereign stifling deal with a fascist state. And that’s the Swedish Saab Gripen. The F-35 is over priced, unreliable and subject to a Trump kill switch.
