Well Dani, if you’re going to pursue the democratic approach, 480,000 Albertans signed a petition saying they want to remain in Canada and only 300,000 signed one saying they want to leave.

Why then are you arguing against the judge’s decision, unless you are planning to do the separation referendum against the wishes of a majority of your constituents?

You can’t expect the Trumpian leader of the UCP to admit their law as written was not perfect.

She could say "that's not what we intended when we wrote that law", but that just highlights that they wrote it poorly. It is up to the judiciary to interpret the laws on the books.

But she has to say it in order to show she’s on the side of the separatist faction of the UCP, as detailed in the Globe article I shared this morning.

Uh, no.. that's the exact reason the courts are separate from the legislature.]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://doomscroller.social/notes/am8ymrymlzpu047zhttps://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://doomscroller.social/notes/am8ymrymlzpu047zThu, 14 May 2026 11:19:11 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to “Premier Danielle Smith … called the court’s ruling incorrect in law and anti-democratic.” on Thu, 14 May 2026 11:14:59 GMT]]>@Sanderde It is absolutely not her place to say that a judge is wrong, especially "in law". Doug Ford's pulled the same shit. There should be censures involved. They aren't dictators, they aren't allowed to say shit like that.

Isn't she the Premier who passed a law that says that any federal law they disagree with will be ignored …
You know, totally lawless and totally anti-democratic

It’s the “diluted” part that works for me.

I lean towards Dilbit Dani myself.

Moe used to be far and away the dumbest premier. Used to be.

Smith is doing a full court press to prove me wrong.

Bitumen Barbi saw Vance mansplain Catholicism to the Pope and figures that's the way to roll, and teach the law and constitution to a friggen judge.
