Smith today resorting back to her "Look I was a radio host" defence of the outrageous things she said.

Here's the problem.

The vast majority of things she said that have gotten her into hot water took place after she left radio and during her leadership race...

/1


#abpoli
Smith's comment about how "everything up to stage 4 cancer is under your control?

During her campaign for UCP Leadership. July 21, 2022.

(You can tell because of the "Danielle Smith For Premier" logo beside her head also)

/2
Smith's comments about the unvaccinated being the most discriminated against group she's seen in her lifetime?

After she took office as premier.

October 11, 2022

/3
Smith's phone call with Artur?

January, 2023.

/4 Image
Smith's claim that she spoke to crown prosecutors?

Dec 21, 2022

/4
Smith's unbelievable whitewashing of Canadian History?

February 10, 2023.

/5


#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Smith's Ukraine comments where she blamed Ukraine for the war and claimed they still had nuclear weapons?

(The didn't and don't)

April, 2022

Again, after her leadership bid had started.

Even with the Ethics Commissioner ruling that Smith broke the law & her behaviour represented a fundamental threat to democracy, did Smith apologize?

She acknowledged the mistake but no apology. She thought she was doing things right.

This was just last week...

/7
Which brings us to the truly wild part of this thread...

As much as Smith lies, she's only apologized (kinda) for two of these things, and this is only a light sampling.

So even when Smith is talking about taking responsibility, she's still lying.

You have to wonder…

Given the sad trombone that was Artur’s press conference/sermon today, does Smith appreciate how much of a nothing burger the “optics” of Artur’s condemnation in January would have been if she had never made the call?

On a separate but somewhat related note, is anyone else struck by how sad it is for a person to be worried about the approval of someone like Artur?

For most, his condemnation would be a Medal of Honor…

/2
But here’s the scary part…

Alberta had a premier who is so desperate for approval that she broke the law to try and avoid Artur’s condemnation and was willing to interfere in the administration of justice.

That’s how vulnerable the province of Alberta is and was.

So...

We need to talk about Bonnie maybe.

Bonnie is allegedly the "volunteer" who posted this fun little statement about Jennifer "Trans kids are like feces" Johnson last night.

Now that post was very quickly deleted and this was posted after.

Which is, in all honesty, a pretty bold choice.

And then this morning, that post was deleted and this was posted in it's place...

Here's a thread of true things that happened surrounding a luxury apartment which led to us being threatened with legal action today by a high ranking employee of a crown minister...

LONG thread, but totes worth it.

So anyways, back in October we were wandering through the inter webs looking for headshots of a few UCP heavy hitters when we came across this particular image with a luxurious amount of hair...

/2 Image
Of course, we were super curious about where the source of this photo was, and it turns out it was a somewhat derelict LinkedIn page...

This is Danielle Smith with Jordon Kosik.

Jordon has been campaigning relentlessly for Smith.

He runs multiple facebook sites ramping people up on conspiracy theories.

He calls it engagement.

But he does more than engagement.

Read to the end.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Jordon is one of the people who is dog whistling for people to be confrontational with door knockers and straight up telling them to record the conversations.

/2
When a woman did exactly that and chased a group of door knockers down the street, did he call for civility?

Nope.

He called her a freedom fighter.

On last nights episode, we played a video of an anti-vaxxer berating a door knocking team.

We also played a video of @PierrePoilievre sidestepping a conspiracy theory question.

We believe we clearly called out the misinformation and falsehoods.

/1
That being said, YouTube removed the video and episode.

We’re in the process of editing the word “vaccine” out of the episode and reposting it.

But just to be absolutely clear, we stand with the science of vaccination and we believe falsehoods need to be called out.

/2
The point of the segment was to highlight how political leaders all too often dodge questions as opposed to correcting falsehoods, which only further reinforces false beliefs and radicalizes people.
