Our new Substack article is live!

And it asks a very serious question...

Should media be intimidated by people using the tools of lawfare to suppress opinions they disagree with?

Because it looks like that might be what happened in Alberta!

Danielle Smith's former Chief of staff demanded The Calgary Herald remove an article rebutting his position...
And then it was removed.

WOW!

In March, Danielle Smith justified not calling for a public inquiry in part because her new right hand man...

(former #YEG Police Chief, Dale Mcfee)

had looked into the corrupt care scandal

The same one who the Globe showed was partying with Sam Mraiche!

Did Adriana Lagrange lie to cover up connections with the "Corrupt Care" scandal and recovery Alberta?

Because back in March she was asked if Judge Wyants report would look into those concerns, and she said he would.

But he said he wasn't allowed to...

“Ms. Smith’s relationship with Mr. Mraiche, for example, preceded her time as premier, including dinner plans and a scheduled video call during her leadership campaign.”

From the DM’s…

As if Smith recalling her own recall legislation wasn’t bad enough…

Apparently she’s also moving forward with LEGISLATION to ban the word “progressive” from political party names.

Like, banning the word.

The organizer of the Dale Nally recall is shooting back!

Not only does he call out Nally’s false claims, but he also points out that yet again…

Danielle Smith lied in the legislature.

“Smith added that Nally had been incorrect in his initial assertion about the petitioner’s voting history.”

So Nally maligned a petition organizer with entirely false information?

Not a strong argumet for competence…

A very reliable source tells us that Danielle Smith with be recalling recall with new legislation early next week.

Right after the UCP AGM.

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.

Or congenital organ defect repair.

Or mental health care.

This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.

It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.

NDP Today - Boy, sure seems like friends of Marshall Smith land some pretty major contracts! Did anyone in government ever have concerns about the background?

Wait WHAT?!?

Dale Nally somehow audited the voting records of Albertans and is using that as a metric for who can initiate recall?

And now all of the applicant statements and member statements have been removed from Elections Alberta?
