Speaking from experience, I can tell you that doing so won’t always be celebrated by party brass, and that’s ok. Appeasing them might make your life easier, but that’s not your job. Your duty is to put your constituents’ thoughts and concerns first.
“Safe supply” is a program that effectively entails giving addicts on the streets access to free opioids deemed to be safer than other street drugs. In practice, this just floods the streets with more powerful drugs that can be consumed or traded for stronger drugs.
Liana Piava, Alberta NDP candidate in Peace River, in spite of criticizing the UCP government’s addictions policy like the other members of her party, actually has indirectly endorsed much of what the UCP is doing and newly proposing.
The Alberta NDP seems to be trying to prove that assumption wrong that they aren’t socialists by fielding several candidates in the 2023 Alberta provincial election who are, are linked to, or praise, communists/communism.
The CBC seems to be trying to assist the NDP in presenting it as a centrist party with its Alberta Political Compass online quiz. In ridiculous fashion, the CBC places the NDP as being slightly right-of-centre on economics and slightly more progressive than conservative on social issues.
One rumour The National Telegraph has been contacted about by several sources is that Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP executive may plan on replacing Sonya Savage as the Calgary-North West nominee with Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Rajan Sawhney.
In a move that will satisfy a lot of Conservative voters in Alberta who became fed-up with the Alberta government’s draconian approach to COVID-19 restrictions and mandates between 2020 and early 2022 Premier Danielle Smith fired Chief Medical Officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw.
Shortly after being sworn in as premier, Danielle Smith reiterated her now weaker position, which perfectly mirrors what former Premier Jason Kenney’s government was doing to push back on federal government overreach, and acted as if everyone just misunderstood her during the leadership.
At the end of the day, Danielle Smith talks a lot and dictates to government officials about how they should have gotten punted from their jobs to stand for freedom, while she never actually put anything on the line herself, and enforced strict COVID-19 measures at her restaurant, and only gained popularity from her grandstanding.
After former Wildrose Party leader and UCP leadership candidate, Danielle Smith, rolled out her plans for personal health spending accounts, fellow leadership candidate Brian Jean noticed that what Smith was proposing smelled an awful lot like a Digital ID program.
