In a leaked video chat with Artur Pawlowski, Premier Danielle Smith says “I can assure you, I have asked them (prosecutors) that almost weekly ever since I got started here” about COVID prosecutions.
Premier Smith says she was hesitant to go public with her support of Pawlowski and others because that's what got PMJT in trouble in JWR situation.
She adds that she assumed that Premiers had clemency powers like U.S Governors.
Premier Smith says that everyone has moved on from COVID, adding that she's frustrated that it was a political decision that led to the COVID charges but that it can't be a political decision to end them.
Here's part of the interview with Premier Smith from June 2021 where she says it was a mistake for Alberta to remove health care premiums - adding she wanted to bring it back in a "smarter" way. #yeg#yyc#ableg
Smith also said that major health treatment should be covered by government, but suggests that other services like a GP, nutritionist or a psychologist be paid for through a health spending account. #yeg#Yyc#ableg
Several Indigenous leaders including the Chiefs of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 and Treaty 8 are uniting to oppose Premier Danielle Smith's proposed Sovereignty Act. #yeg#Yyc#ableg
Chief Tony Alexis says the Sovereignty bill is unconstitutional and illegal.
Must uphold their treaties as they are international agreements and they do not plan to ever give up their land.
Will not let colonial governments ignore their rights.
Alexis says Premier Smith is seeking to provoke Albertans and Indigenous people to satisfy a small percentage of voters by attacking the federal liberals.
