On today's episode of "Danielle Smith sure seems to retcon history a lot". Can we talk about "Question 1" for a sec? Because Danielle Smith says she's asking for a mandate for an unprecedented policy shift. But what does she really want? /1

Seriously. I’m almost 50 and have had to listen to this bullshit about Alberta my entire life. The fucking AB voters have consistently elected the same party for 40 years. Maybe it’s not the rest of Canada’s fault if you make poor decisions every election?
