Danielle Smith a political mayfly, not long for the jobHALIFAX—Let’s start with the good news. As premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith is a political mayfly; not long for the job. By May 29, the woman who was made premier by one per cent of Albertans will be a gaudy footnote, in the dismal decline of a conservatism firmly captured by anger. This group continues to look for a fight with Ottawa under any pretence, however false.   Donald Trump has done it in the United States, using unhinged surrogates like Marjory Taylor Greene.  Pierre Poilievre, who is trying desperately to sell the false narrative that “everything is broken” in Canada, does it with personal videos that wouldn’t pass muster in an elementary school show-and-tell class. And Danielle Smith is doing it with her inept and purposely belligerent Sovereignty Act.   Smith’s bungling since winning the United Conservative Party leadership on the sixth ballot on Oct. 6, should have prepared everyone for this senseless, divisive, and anti-democratic power grab. This is the historically challenged leader who said that unvaccinated people are “the most discriminated against group” in her lifetime.  That lifetime must have been spent sleeping. How else could she have ignored real discrimination, the kind that maims and kills? The Jewish people know a thing or two about that.   So do Blacks and Muslims, and LGBTQ people, who recently saw their brothers and sisters gunned down in a U.S. nightclub solely because of their sexual orientation. So do the thousands of Indigenous children who went through the torture chamber of the residential school system.   So do the inmates of Mount Cashel orphanage in Newfoundland, who were beaten and sexually molested by the very people who were supposed to be taking care of them—the Irish Christian Brothers.   Bottom line?   Until she was hounded into making an apology that didn’t exactly resonate with sincerity, Smith seemed to be saying that she didn’t consider genocide as serious a matter as the right to refuse a vaccine that was expre TheHillTimes Good read……She and P.P. are bothzzzzz TheHillTimes The writer of this article Mike Harris is left leaning. You will always get hatchet jobs from Mike on any person that is right leaning with their policies! HarrisAuthor you know there are issues with the current federal model, right?
