Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been actively involved in several controversial decisions recently, including her reaction to the guilty verdict of three individuals involved in the Coutts Border Blockade. Smith emphasized that the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act, which was cited in the verdict, does not consider individual ideologies and strictly prohibits blocking critical infrastructure. Additionally, Smith is facing criticism for her decision to appoint a 'contrarian' doctor, who previously accused the province of exaggerating COVID-19's impact on hospitals, to lead a review of pandemic-era health data. Critics argue that this move could undermine scientific approaches to public health.

For Danielle Smith even federal research grants to universities are part of a Liberal plot to ruin Alberta. She craves the authority to not only oversee Alberta’s universities but to determine exactly what they teach, research and publish. #Opinion https://t.co/51XXYnkjbv
