A bit of a party to greet Art Pawlowski at his moon presser where he’s promising more info on his interactions with Danielle Smith. #yeg #yyc #ableg

Okay, Art Pawlowski’s plan to hold his presser on the ledge steps is apparently changing, he’s holding it on the federal plaza, so now we’re all heading that way wheeeeee

And…. We’re back on the ledge steps

Welp, those are election signs of the legislature steps at the Pawlowski event

Among those here filming and covering the Art Pawlowski event is uh… Art Pawlowski?

Pawlowski’s hype man says we aren’t living in a free province, calls out UCP for cases against Pawlowski and other pastors and Coutts accused, in case there was any doubt which way Art is likely to be leaning.

Art hiding in the shade, but still needing to cool off with one of his election signs. Definitely a bad day to wear dark blue or black clothing.

Art Pawlowski hype man TL;dr.

Smith and Notley are evil, and he won’t vote for lesser of two evils, whichever that is as it’s a bit unclear.

Oh!

Art Pawlowski will not take a salary if elected to the legislature.

Nate Pawlowski speaking now, saying there’s no difference between Danielle Smith and Rachel Notley, going on about abortion and childhood vaccines.

Of note, I’ve lost count on the use of the word ‘evil’ today.

Art Pawlowski takes the stage, begins by calling himself a victim of COVID policies (I mean, his wording is a little
but more verbose than that)

Art P. says the UCP should pass an amnesty act to clear pastors, says he’s tired of Danielle Smith lying that she’d clear them

If you haven’t found a live stream to watch, I can assure you’ve missed nothing of note so far except Pawlowski’s greatest hits.

NEW:

Pawlowski accusing bribery.

Says he was approached by Smith team, was told if he gave up politics, he would be hired to oversee COVID panel that eventually went to Preston Manning.

Turned it down upon learning panel had no teeth

Pawlowski says he was approached a few months later and offered amnesty if he kept his “mouth shut about the UCP tyranny.”

Third meeting now.

Pawlowski says he met with three of Smith’s teams- was told if he crossed the floor he would be given a seat in the legislature.

Adds he didn’t because he’s not a whore

Pawlowski says he had even more meetings with Smith’s reps.

Adds he was promised that nothing would happen to him.

Then came the phone call.

Adds he didn’t leak the call (which was posted to his YouTube page)

Pawlowski says he didn’t know his call was being made public until the day of, adds he recorded it for his own protection against the liars.

Adds call was released without his consent.

Adds Rachel Notley is a witch and a liar

Welp, there’s our first gestapo reference.

And a few moments later, a double dose of ‘nazis’

Pawlowski asked if he has proof or names.

Says he told us, doesn’t need to share that with the lying mainstream
Media.

Adds he won’t say more because it could wind up in court, says he would then produce eyewitnesses in court

Pawlowski won’t release dates of calls and meetings

Pawlowski says he is challenging Danielle Smith to a public debate on the steps of the legislature, and will bring his eyewitness then.

(Of note, he adds eyewitnesses are here today, but they’ll only speak when Danielle Smith denies his claims)

Pawlowski says the story today is that he was bribed multiple times, adding that it’s too hot outside.

Pawlowski claims he had only one conversation with Smith as premier, but had others before that, and talked to her reps throughout.

Adds he has ten eyewitnesses in all, and that she talked to other accused.

As for guaranteeing him a seat in legislature, says he was offered a safe UCP riding.

Asked why UCP wanted him, says we must have missed thousand who marched with him while us journalists were in China.

How did you arrange call with Smith?

Pawlowski says he was approached multiple times before UCP leadership vote because he was popular with freedom movement.

One day, was told Premier Smith would call him.

Pawlowski says there is an investigation underway as to who leaked the phone call that was posted openly to his YouTube page.

Pawlowski says Smith called him and the purpose of the call was always about the charges, he had nothing else to say.

Adds Smith is a pathological liar for saying she called him as a political leader.

Pawlowski claims Danielle Smith is already using the Justice system against him, saying his son was charged today and that she may come after his dog, too

The pro-Pawlowski crowd holding strong, even though they aren’t really applauding as much an hour into this thing, and the one kid is trying to eat his shoe, likely out of boredom.

Pawlowski claims other high profile people charged with COVID/Coutts crimes were made offers by Smith’s people.

Pawlowski says he was approached by Smith’s people after they met with her, and then drive to his home to make their proposal and he would tell them to take a hike, then repeated again a month later.

👀👀👀

Pawlowski claims he was also offered $2-million dollars.

Pawlowski says the details of his story will become public as it winds its way through the court system.

Pawlowski slams back a Gatorade after one of the more interesting press confer in Alberta history.

Of note on Pawlowski’s claim he was offered $2M, says it came from an unaffiliated third party.
