From the DM’s...

This is an email that is reportedly a complaint letter to Elections Alberta that seems to make some very serious allegations...

Given the degree to which the UCP have alleged ill intent in the recall process, this needs to be addressed quickly.

So...

In the course of less than 24 hours, Danielle Smith’s right hand man is apparently attempting to delegitimize both the courts AND journalists.

Is there a name for that?

(There is)

12/06/2025

Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn’t render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

WOW!

When asked if the cancellation of Surgical Contracts vindicated former health CEO Athana Mentzelopolous...

Smith said no...

Then claimed that govt knew there were pricing problems, ignoring that Lagrange herself set the pricing via ministerial order!

In what was easily the most bizarre moment on “Your Province, Your Premier”...

A caller argued that Smith could legally reintroduce handguns for Albertans if they just made everyone deputies

Smith’s response?

Hey! That COULD cut down on response times!

Despite taking the position moments earlier that citizen referendum should easily be able to be on anything question regardless of constitutionality...

Smith again reiterated that she believes recall should have much more stringent controls.

On the ruling calling the UCP’s Bill 14 strategy “the antithesis of the stable, predictable, and ordered society that the rule of law contemplates, and democracy demands.”

Smith flatly said she knows democracy better than judges.

Since Scott Cyr wants AI to audit the UCP…

We asked chatGPT a simple question…

“On a scale of 1-10, how corrupt is the UCP government in Alberta?”

Whenever Mickey Amery or Danielle Smith tries to say “having another party with “conservative” in the name will confuse people!”…

Ask them about 2019.

When a second Conservative Party ran.

And got…

0.52% of the vote.

“We celebrate the courts ruling in our favour once again, and welcome this affirmation of the legal primacy of Treaty and the Crown-Indigenous relationship here on Treaty Lands.”

Confederacy of Treaty 6 First Nations responds to today’s ruling.
