Smith says she had nothing to do with Hinshaw’s un-hiring. “These are decisions that are made internally…” Now we need to ask what she means by “decisions” and “internally” — just in case we’re talking about totally different things.

Premier Danielle Smith denies interference in Hinshaw’s hiring at Alberta Health Services |...

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is denying any interference in the reversal of Dr. Deena Hinshaw's hiring earlier this month.

I believe this is the fastest Kenney’s responded appropriately to an MLA scandal since he’s been premier - just under 8 hours. No excuses, no complaints, no blame for the feds… the calls must have come in fast and furious for such a decisive decision.

The Alberta government is permanently closing #yeg 's @boylestreet supervised consumption service (SCS) at a time when more people than ever are dying of overdose. This closure will result in a 35% drop in #yeg 's current SCS capacity (booths). #ableg

It’s also the same school where Danielle Smith. Ezra Levant, and Keean Bexte obtained their degrees, prior to moving into the journalism-adjacent industry of conservative punditry.

Another nugget in this piece: Dr. Hinshaw’s two deputies resigned when she was fired and the govt hasn’t been able to replace them. Could it be that qualified professionals see the role as politically compromised and want nothing to do with it?

Has anyone had a hot take on why low voter turnout supported supposedly “progressive” mayors in #yyc and #yeg when we’ve been told forever that conservative voters “show up”? I don’t think these can both be true.

The NDP record included lower deficit spending and an oil price downturn. The NDP record scared the crap out of defund and dismantle conservatives because they showed we can have well-funded services if we prioritize them. UCP is running scared this election. #abvotes

Wait… we need to convince new grads to *stay* in Alberta? Not going to lie, I figured we’d just poach new grads from other provinces with a bribe… I didn’t realize we had to bribe Albertans, too…

Oil again below $70/bbl. Alberta needs ~$75 to balance and was banking on $80 for the budget. Hopefully we'll see some serious ideas from both parties around how to ease our dependence on this volatile revenue source. #abvotes

I don’t understand where “God-given freedoms” even comes from. God offered no freedoms — only privileges for obedience. Very “society of humans” of him, at that.
