“If you think the harm reduction obsession is really successful when it comes to preserving human lives, than I invite you to take a stroll down East Hastings on the downtown east side of Vancouver."
Just over a week ago, we asked our audience to ignore an account that was set up clearly to troll us and harass a journalist and private citizen.

Since that time there have been multiple coincidences that suggest some connection between an individual known to “fix” in politics, that account and another individual.

We have since been provided a court ruling that clearly spells out that one of these individuals has a history of criminal harassment and severe untreated mental health issues (as of May 2025).
So remember the lawsuit launched by Danielle Smith's former chief of staff Marshall Smith?
Where's he's suing both former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous and the Globe and Mail?
The statements of defense have been filed!
Let's take a look!
Thread!

It's worth remembering that the defamation claims against Mentzelopoulos seem to hinge entirely on what was included in her statement of claim against the government in her wrongful dismissal case...
Which a few legal beagles have already said can't be ruled as defamatory.

In his statement of claim, Marshall Smith claims that he indeed did speak to the CEO about Nate Pike and alleges that he had a lawsuit he was looking to launch against Pike.
Also apparently for defamation.
Legit have no idea what he's talking about there...
The Jasper report has 9 key themes and 23 recommendations.

First, let’s establish some timelines!
Fortunately, the report does that very early on.
The report clearly demonstrates that the first fires inside the town of Jasper were reported on July 24th at roughly 6 PM.

Ok!
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at what Smith is taking issue with!
It’s predominantly these two sections.
The report states that “the Province of Alberta, though not jurisdictionally responsible to lead the incident, regularly requested information and sought to exercise decision-making authority.”
The Alberta Prosperity Project (who Danielle Smith called her "Plan B") has released their "fully costed" (it's not) fiscal plan for a nation of Alberta.
There's a lot to unpack in this numerical train wreck, but today let's focus on just 1 piece...
Their immigration policy

Because in the country of Alberta, individual value would be determined by points.
Want to move to Alberta?
You have to meet the prescribed number of points.

But a closer look really highlights the darker elements at play...
Despite Alberta having a significant francophone population, points are only awarded for English.
