The sheer hypocrisy of this Government ever even mentioning jurisdictional overreach by the Feds. Maybe work on ER wait times or classroom size? Do YOUR gd job for once?

11 days before the Alberta referendum proposing that province, not feds, appoint Alberta's high-court judges, the federal Liberal govt named Danielle Smith gov's deputy minister of justice to Court of King's Bench.

Also Smith on equalization: Although Alberta has higher GDP per capita than any other province, we are unable to use that to properly manage our social, education & healthcare programs so we need to keep more money in Alberta to mismanage instead of sharing the wealth with other Canadians.

Also Smith on equalization: We are rich in Alberta but need to be richer because you other provinces are incapable of finding oil reserves under your provinces that you are willing to pollute & contribute to climate change to extract.

Smith on equalization: Quebec just needs to find other sources of revenue despite having restricted sources of revenue. Somewhat like kicking people off AISH onto ADAP to encourage them to find jobs despite them not being able work.

I have to say - I never encouraged anyone to ask for a mail in ballot. I was always worried about that strategy. Now, Elections Alberta says there are still 500,000 ballots that haven’t been received. And they’ve disallowed thousands more for not including ID.

Opinion: What if ER docs joined the province's private-pay plan?
Tongue-in-cheek column shows folly of double billing and how allowing people to pay privately for health it doesn't solve long wait lists.
