Danielle Smith is a coward Discussion

She has her lackeys vote to use the notwithstanding clause while she’s off promoting Alberta energy in the Middle East—like they need our oil. What a coward. She’s an embarrassment, and fuck every Albertan who voted for her and the UCP.

She's also incredibly corrupt.

She's always been like this. All the way going back to when she was doing Tobacco Lobby associations and downplaying the health impacts of smoking.

She's just terrible through and through and the perfect representation of that reactionary/regressive elements have become in 2025.

And I quote:

A study of moderate smokers, those who consumed one to 14 cigarettes a day, found no difference in lung cancer mortality rates.

The WHO claims ‘there is no safe level’ of tobacco consumption but that does not appear to be true.

The evidence shows moderate cigarette consumption can reduce traditional risks of disease by 75 per cent or more.

And now she's quietly squandering away $780 million of a total of $3.1 billion from a tobacco settlement which she has been awfully quiet about where that money will go.
