Yes, she did, and in no uncertain terms. #abpoli

Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big time trafficker off the hook?

Franklin tried to teach kids a lesson; America still hasn’t learned it: If you shut people out long enough, the world eventually shuts you out too.

Reminds me of the line from the movie The Dark Knight:
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Danielle Smith once claimed her "mission in public life" was to defend the fundamental rights and freedoms, and that they "cannot be taken away from us by government".

But now she's the one who has taken away fundamental rights and freedoms from Albertans.

Watching my wife get emotional and have to leave the room because Little is pitching makes me want him to win very badly as I know there are a lot of non believers.

Doesn't make sense even if I actually do love a high fat diet. It turns out it's also nice to be healthy so advice from scientists and nutrition experts is better than quacks.
Another thing to not import from down south.

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

Maybe signalling to caucus and staff that party politics is a free-for-all wasn’t such a good idea.

Ok this is a spooky Halloween moment:

The Toronto Star’s Susan Delacourt (who I admire!) published a SUPER similar piece literally within MINUTES of mine today.
