Danielle Smith did a photo-op at the Calgary Food Bank yesterday without offering any policies to alleviate hunger in this province. She has all kinds of money to waste on failed MAGA ideas, but none for people who need help.

If it feels like every tragedy gets twisted by MAGA into proof that people outside their movement are dangerous, you’re not imagining it. That instinct has a name in psychology, and MAGA has turned it into a political strategy.

Her latest attacks aren't some high-minded philosophical critique of judicial supremacy.
