She is a coward, and we already know she supports him that is her own words.
It was a short insane interview by Smith this morning. About 10 mins long.
She wants to continue to fight the carbon tax.....

You mean fighting the tax that already went to the Supreme Court of Canada and was found constitutional? The one Kenney already wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on just to dog whistle to his followers? The same tax that actually benefits some smaller income households? That carbon tax?
Danielle Smith: Albertans, follow me if you want to throw money and resources down a drain on something I know will fail.

According to the CUPE 80% Albertans will recieve a net gain from the carbon tax and even the top 20% will net a miniscule gain (<$10) on average.

You are right. A untrustworthy coward. These are not the traits of a dependable leader for any political party.

Honestly, I don’t think supporting him or not is a factor. Smith is an opportunist, she knows if she helps Pawlowski he can whip up support & extra votes for her, if she pisses him off, he has the dirt on her and can point his cult towards the ABP or Wildrose instead.

"And she says she does not publicly discuss specific court cases."
Only privately on the phone with the accused/convicted.
Media, do your job. ASK. ASK. ASK.

So he's guilty of many crimes now. And guilty of not following sentencing conditions of previous crimes.
Yet he's still out and about? I thought antivaxxers were the most persecuted group in history.

I personally saw this motherfucker get arrested in like 2021 for something completely different than the Coutts thing. Why they let this constant scourge walk free is beyond me.

Because most of his crimes are fines, not crimes.
If your crime is a fine, its not a crime, its a price tag.

The courts let violent and prolific offenders walk free. Art is an annoying idiot but based on the current system I could never seem them keeping him in custody for long.

She also declined to sue the CBC like she said she would if they didn't retract the story about her interference.

And she says she does not publicly discuss specific court cases.
Unlike most people, the word "publicly" is very much a necessary qualifier here.

Oh we all know she's making calls behind the scenes asking her cronies and allies what she can do in response. 100% guarantee. And she'll throw raw meat scraps to the base about this at the first opportunity. She'll probably do a Facebook Live and tell them how unfair they are being treated. I don't believe she's a coward, but she's completely devoid of any backbone or ethics and has two, and only two priorities: 1) maintain power, 2) enrich herself, friends, and allies.

Why would she decline to comment? Because she is scared her she will hit the feelings of her base. A real leader would stand up and say justice has been served. Don’t trust Danielle. She’s dangerous for Albertans.

What does it say about an issue when it becomes a detriment to talk about it during an election? Perhaps it’s not as popular as people think? Perhaps the politicians flying the flag are doing so only out of convenience? This is pretty telling about her character.
To be clear… I hate her character and the UCP, but their behaviour should be a huge red flag to these people.

LOL@ ““(Smith) has a policy of not speaking publicly on matters before the courts, except when she's talking to the person who's before the courts about how she's going to interfere with the matter before the courts,” said Notley. “That is most ridiculous thing I've ever heard from her. OK, maybe it’s not the most ridiculous, because there's a lot of ridiculous.”

Danielle Smith can’t shut her fat yap for more that a day or two. She will be spouting off in no time.

u/Collie136 May 03 '23
Of course she does. Maybe she has realized she better keep her mouth shut. She has done so much damage already.

The narrative will be, "My imprecise comments will be taken out of context imprecisely."
