Hoffman says this is the authentic Danielle Smith.

Hoffman asked what the NDP would modernize.

Claims under the NDP watch you could get a family doctor in a day - and points to issues of Albertans being able to get one now.

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.

#yeg #yyc #ableg

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.

NDP leader Rachel Notley says Danielle Smith will address the affordability crisis that the UCP caused in the first place.

Notley says UCP raised AISH at the start of their term only to de-index it- now reversing that again.

Notley also points to recent comments made by Smith about Albertans paying for their own doctor's visits.

Notley says she will end the chaos in health care, adding that they will rebuild the system so it doesn't matter how much money you have.
