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 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.
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.
When asked about the WEF Toews agreed that the influential non-profit’s left-wing values and syndicalist/corporatist economic policies were completely out-of-line with what a Conservative should believe and stated “Ministers in my cabinet will not be allowed to attend WEF events.”
At a 10 am press conference this morning, UCP leadership candidates Brian Jean, Travis Toews, Leela Aheer, and Rajan Sawhney, united together to criticize Danielle Smith’s proposed Sovereignty Act plan, which she says will allow the Alberta government to ignore federal policies that in some way infringe on provincial jurisdiction.
UCP influencer and Alberta political commentator Ambrose Ralph recently uncovered an old podcast recording featuring former Wildrose Party leader and current UCP leadership candidate back in 2012 saying Hillary Clinton “would have been a terrific president actually.”
Recently both Kenney and Lakhani have spoken out against the hypothetical Sovereignty Act proposal that former Wildrose leader and current UCP leadership candidate Danielle Smith has been putting forward.
