On the eve of St. Kateryna’s Day,
Ukrainian girls placed leaves from different trees under their pillows; each marked with a young man’s name.

Before sleep, they whispered a prayer to Fate.
In the morning, the youngest boy in the family pulled one leaf – the name on it foretold her future husband.

3) Smith's won the leadership through support from right-wing/convoy-type/separatist activists. Her policies support the grievances of these activists.
Why is that flavour of activism ok, but "activists" criticizing her government villified?

2) If using the NWC wasn't taken lightly, then the gov shouldn't have forced it through in a day. They could've legislated return to work & kept negotiations open. They could've consulted the trans community. Instead, they stifled debate.
They only claim to take it seriously bec people are unhappy.

1) Why does the MLA think policy disagreement isn't a basis for a recall?
If constituents strongly disagree with government policies, then the policies don't represent the constituents. And if the MLA still pushes these policies, then the MLA might not be representative of the people.
