A Canadian pastor who was jailed after keeping his church open in defiance of COVID-19 lockdown mandates pushed back against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's recent assertion that she's had "her wings clipped" regarding alleged political prisoners in her province.
Danielle Smith was officially sworn in as Alberta s 19th premier on Oct. 11, 2022, succeeding Jason Kenney as the leader of the United Conservative Party.
Kenney, Smith, and the UCP are the symptom of a failure of Alberta’s entrenched political class to deal with the province’s deeper problems. This failure takes the form of demands that the Alberta state be given more power; that is, that those who have held power in the province going on forty years be given even more power. But nothing ever changes.
CALGARY Danielle Smith, Alberta’s new incoming premier, plans to meet with her United Conservative caucus today and begin putting her stamp on the party and government. Smith will be sworn in Tuesday to replace outgoing Premier Jason Kenney.
