Danielle Smith needs to resign as Premier of Alberta. She is the single most corrupt, controversial, destructive person to ever occupy the office of Premier in our great province.
Think I'm exaggerating?
- Artur Pawlowski ethics breach: in March 2023, Danielle Smith improperly pressured the Justice Minister to drop all charges against the pastor with regards to the Coutts blockade
- CorruptCare: Smith tried to restructure AHS by awarding massive publicly funded contracts to private corporations, including MHCare. The former CEO of AHS, Athana Mentzelopoulos claims to have been wrongfully fired because she was investigating allegations of wrongdoing.
- Sweeping Attacks on Trans Youth: Bills 26, 27, and 29 ban transgender surgeries and hormonal therapies for youths under 16, force parental consent for school pronoun changes, and ban trans women from competing in female sports leagues. Danielle Smith used the Notwithstanding Clause, a constitutional clause designed to avoid national unity crises during times of emergency, to silence all debate and court challenges on these unconstitutional bills.
- Third Party Book Bans: Smith mandated that all third-party learning materials involving sex ed, orientation, or gender identity require Ministry of Education pre-approval.
- Her list of controversial comments and public acts includes:
- Claims that the unvaxxed were "the most discriminated against group of people in history";
- Comparing those who followed COVID policies were "followers of Hitler";
- gave credence to the chemtrail conspiracists;
- used victims of severe crimes as props for her own political claims.
- She has passed legislation which allows the government of Alberta to simply ignore laws she deems "harmful to Alberta's interests."
- She has tried to pull Alberta out of the CPP, with no plan to replace it aside from an independent APP.
- She has dismantled AHS in an effort to privatize Alberta's universal healthcare system.
- She wasted $70 million dollars on Turkish pain medication, most of which either was deemed unsafe for public consumption or simply never arrived.
- She has been seen many times at public events in the US hosted by MAGA or MAGA-aligned far-right activists and figures, many of whom, including Trump, have advocated for annexing Canada into the US by force.
These are just the most extreme examples of Danielle Smith's unfitness to occupy the office of the Premier of Alberta. She has done much damage to the reputation and the future of our province and our people. She will go down in history as the most corrupt, most destructive premier we have ever endured.
