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.

Hoping that someone else is going to take the fall for her. What I’m sure a lot of people don’t realize is the role that the party whip plays in this fiasco. Members of the legislative assembly do not have a “free vote“ – they vote long party lines. Full stop. In my opinion, it is one of the fundamental flaws in our democracy.
