It's one month since Danielle Smith was sworn in as Premier.
Here are a few things she's done IN ONE MONTH. #ableg 🧵 1/15

She began by calling people who refused vaccination "the most discriminated against group that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime."
From day one, she had no understanding of the province she wants to lead, or the struggles of the diverse people who call Alberta home. 🧵 2/

She refused to give people in Calgary-Elbow representation because she was afraid of losing in #yyc.
(If Smith won't run here herself, someone else could have run for the UCP. But apparently she thinks Calgarians don't deserve a representative.) 🧵3/ globalnews.ca/news/9189193/d…

During a radio show, Smith said she was “open to revisiting” approval of the Springbank Dam, despite construction being underway on this $744M project that is crucial to #yyc flood protection. Seriously careless talk, proving she can't be trusted. 🧵 4/ globalnews.ca/news/9205201/d…
She also speculated about changes to the Green Line that would likely kill the project.
Again, Smith is not a radio host anymore. What she says matters. 🧵 5/ #ableg

She has been forced to apologize for seriously troubling and conspiratorial views about the war in Ukraine. 🧵 6/

She has discussed plans for radical healthcare reforms that will be, as she puts it, "bumpy" and "perilous". And this is a healthcare system that has already endured years of UCP assault.
She has no mandate for this. 🧵 7/ #ableg #abhealth globalnews.ca/news/9215337/a…

On the subject of healthcare, Smith claimed without evidence that staffing shortages have been "manufactured". She has not retracted this unfounded claim and she has yet to apologise to the tens of thousands of healthcare workers whose honesty it calls into question. 🧵 8/ #ableg
Also on the subject of healthcare, Smith is seeking advice from Paul Alexander, a former Trump advisor who has openly encouraged adults and children to contract COVID-19, and called the COVID-19 vaccine a "bioweapon". 🧵 9/ #ableg globalnews.ca/news/9261881/a…
She has doubled down on plans to bring in a costly and unnecessary Alberta Police Force, despite enormous opposition from Albertans and municipal leaders. #ableg 🧵 11/ edmonton.ctvnews.ca/premier-smith-…
She has put Tyler Shandro, of all people, in charge of enacting her destructive Sovereignty Act. 🧵 12/
She forced a byelection in Brooks-Medicine Hat, disappeared for two weeks, came back, violated the Elections Act, knocked on doors in the wrong riding, and then came in ten points lower than the previous UCP candidate that riding, despite running as Premier. 🧵 13/
She has offered no real solutions during this month in office, just conspiracy theories and lots more mudslinging. Albertans deserve better from their Premier. 🧵 14/
Again, she has been in office for ONE MONTH.
And she has no mandate for any of these changes.
It's time to mobilize for the next election, because it's going to be the most consequential one we've ever faced.
