If the #Canadian #Convoy protestors and #Conservatives lost their collective minds because of virus mandates and then an #EmergenciesAct to disberse the protests, just imagine their heads exploding if (when?) the government uses the current *actual emergency* (i.e. a considerable % of #Canada literally on #fire) to table actual climate change legislation?

Cmon JT, do it. I want to see #PierrePoilievre and #DanielleSmith's heads explode.

Personally, I'd been thinking that questions about #DanielleSmith were the weak point of the #UCP , and that they'd have done better with a different leader. Of course you can't believe everything you read in polls, but this is still a point of evidence against my theory.

@Chigaze @Russtofferson I read the article. It would be false to say that #DanielleSmith wants to adopt an American-style #HealthCareSystem , but she does think the publically-funded system should include the equivalent of co-payments/deductibles. It's also fair to say that she thinks Albertans should be able to use subsidised health savings accounts to pay for services that are currently not funded by the government, like massage.

@DavidM_yeg Showing how #DanielleSmith is not a conservative is interesting, but the article doesn't suggest what Albertan conservatives should do about it. Vote NDP? Stay home? Find some other party?

Used "imprecise" language, that's a lie where I'm from.

Me and my family are making plans to flee Alberta. Healthcare is that important to us.

@vhhancock our premier has been saying some very embarrassing and unacceptable things. #DanielleSmith is her name and you can make the determination yourself, I don't want to mislead.

@SteveM2020 #Daniellesmith is a wannabe #dictator #alberta #albertasovereigntyact #albertapoli

@micropainter Yes, think printing money and stamps, paying import and export taxes on EVERYTHING, having to have a passport to get out of Alberta, Needing diplomats to negotiate every single relationship with every single coubtry including Canada (And most countries in the world have a good working relationship with #Canada) #Brexit was such success right? and oh yeah #Alberta is landlocked. #DanielleSmith is a moronic dictatorial wannabe.

The appointed premier of Alberta walks back her sovereignty bill—just a little. I’m sure she thinks it’s a nice distraction from the real problems facing Albertans. #abpoli #politicalcartoon #daniellesmith #ucp #conservative

#DanielleSmith left public life but she keeps coming back. Everytime, it is just a step down further than first. 1. fired from Calgary School Board 2. Wildrose collapse. 3.Let go from radio station. Next? #UCP bye bye?

@alexandre_brassard Probably Premier #DanielleSmith wants Prime Minister #JustinTrudeau to disallow the
#AlbertaSovereigntyAct . Her best chance of winning the next Alberta election is to pick a fight with Ottawa.

As you say, the Act has enough constitutional problems that the courts will probably strike it down.

(Just a minor note, in the past we've mostly been using #canpol as a hashtag on Mastodon.)

Incompetent, defective crackpots in politics. They hurt people.

Open letter to premier of Alberta Danielle Smith from one of the former board members of #Alberta Health Tony Dagnone (former CEO of Royal Univ Hospital in Saskatoon & London Health Services (Ontario). She fired the entire board.
"[She's chosen to play to her misguided followers who rant against science & academic medicine under the veiled guise of freedom"

"But Danielle Smith’s premiership, it seems to me, is all but certain to go down in flames as it crashes into conservatism, the United Conservative Party and perhaps even Alberta itself."

For the record, this is what I anticipate from the #DanielleSmith ministry.
