When confronted with her comments about rewriting the separatists petition…

Smith not only refused to answer the question…

She really went out of her way to distance herself from their question.

Did Amery show a willingness to throw separatists under the bus today?

When confronted with the ruling that the question is unconstitutional, he not only expressed skepticism they would get the signatures, he said

“Any question that breaches treaty rights… will not go ahead”

Is the UCP just setting separatists up to fail?

Because today, Rajan Sawhney made it clear no question that violates the constitution will be implemented.

And a judge has already ruled the question is unconstitutional.

"We want to create pathways so people can be self supporting"

When challenged on her claims about AISH, Smith finally told the truth.

She doesn't believe everyone on AISH needs to be on AISH and she's looking for off-ramps.

Smith when asked why the change from AISH to ADAP...

Well look at the name, AISH is supposed to be for people who can't work at all. Turns out some folks did. Gotta address that!

Dani is claiming that hiring people with expertise to address staggeringly complex problems isn't the way to go...

Just get a few politicians with no training or experience to do it!

We're days away from a Kid Rock appearance in Alberta.

Oh Wait.

Wherein Dani states that the problem with AHS wasn't managers...

It was HR, Payroll, Finance, IT and Contracting.

(Ok, we'll give her the contracting)

On Triage Physicians...

Smith again blamed the AMA for following the process that Smith's government defined.

Stating...

"I've hoped that we would have on good faith been able to get the position in there"

This from the govt that went to war with docs.

More good news!

Dr. Dani (not a doctor) has announced that no patient should "ever be in a hospital longer than 30 days"!

Even if they're in a coma, suffering from a serious brain injury or massive burns apparently.

Good news everyone!

According to Dani yesterday, there's no longer a shortage of healthcare workers!

And we don't need to give healthcare any more money for recruitment or retention!

(We still very much have a staffing shortage for the record)

When asked about healthcare premiums...

On the same episode that Smith talked about her referendum questions that blame immigrants for driving up the cost of healthcare...

Smith said that healthcare doesn't actually need more money.

No.

Really.

Danielle Smith drags the judiciary deeper into her partisan mud slinging The Alberta Premier’s referendum is a direct threat to the proper functioning of our justice system

“this referendum is not about constitutional reform. It is about politics. It is about blaming immigrants, blaming Ottawa, blaming judges, blaming anyone other than the government itself.”
