An account of our premier Danielle Smith's speaking engagement in Florida the other night. Didn't she say that she was 'going into the lion's den' to fight and stand up for Alberta/Canada? What's quoted are NOT fighting words. And even Ben Shapiro's walk back from annexation comments are offensive!

For those in Edmonton-Centre, the Conservative candidate is notorious for intimidation.
He and his team staked out in front of advanced polling stations as he ran for the provincial UCP, trying to intimidate minorities to vote for him.
Election laws prohibit campaigning or signage at polling stations, both provincially and federally.

6' 8" man allegedly threatened by a 5' 7" woman claims he was inhibited in his duties because he felt threatened by her.
Don't forget this pylon of a man illegally killed horses and threatened to murder property owners when they told him to get off their property because they were trespassing and hunting illegally.
Big man scared shitless by a person over a foot less their size is laughable at best.
Grow a pair, Nixon.

I am bemused that the federal NDP look to be wiped out, according to polling predicitions. Except in Edmonton, calling for maybe 5 ridings!? We pinko lefties are still Albertan, so we're not going to vote Liberal. So we become the NDP power base? And my hope is that Rachel Notley returns to bring a New Labour shift (a la Tony Blair) to a more nationally palatable NDP.

Longtime Edmonton Alberta NDP MLA is resigning his provincial seat | The Albertan
Hey, are you an Alberta NDP member?
You should consider attending NDP Convention on May 2 to 4th in Edmonton at the Convention Centre.
It's a great time, especially if you're a policy nerd like me.
If you want to help shape the direction of the party as we face Danielle Smith, you should be there.
Also, I might need your support for something.
If only Danielle Smith was as committed to working with the rest of Canada as she is to working with the U.S. and Trump.
Ken Boessenkool, former advisor to Stephen Harper, and former economic policy advisor for Ralph Klein on Danielle Smith’s defection.
When a prominent Conservative says this crosses into asking for foreign interference, we need to stop and ask serious questions. This is bigger than partisanship. It’s about trust and who speaks for Alberta. A thread: #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

From @thebreakdown:
Wherein Alberta premier Danielle Smith says that she attempted to influence the US administration to hold off on tariffs to give Pierre Poilievre the best chance at winning the upcoming election...
Because he'll align Canada with Trump the most.

The Lt. Gov of AB needs to hear this. It's a direct admission of asking a foreign leader to exert pressure onto Canada to change an election.
This is treason.
