After six years in power, a fourth budget, and a third multi-billion-dollar deficit, Danielle Smith will blame everyone but herself. Albertans deserve a Premier who takes responsibility, not one who tells us to make hard choices while refusing to own up to her own mistakes. youtu.be/iuA1pxu72ZQ

None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change. Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional. Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then? Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.

There is so much to unpack from Smith's TV address. It was a firehose of information. But one thing I need to emphasize. A referendum question to introduce an Alberta head tax on immigration!

The UCP is trying its damnedest to gut Alberta health care—underpaying staff and blocking unions, severely cutting budgets for the system, and authorizing private health care to enrich insurance companies. All so that she can funnel money towards oil companies and boondoggles.

My dad has had heart events since he was admitted. Now, if he feels angina, he has to ding a tiny bell and hope a nurse outside the ward hears him. “Or you can shout as loud as you can,” they told him.

Legally, Smith has 6 months to call it, and Rachel resigned Dec 30. Generally, the classy thing to do (by convention) is to get the Opposition Leader into the House right away. Instead, Smith is waiting as long as is legal. She did the same with Leth West byelection. No respect for the office.
