    I don’t think so. It delves a little into “politics as sports,” which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn’t prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.

      This is predicated by the notion that Danielle Smith is capable of planning and forethought, which is questionable.

      See her responses to private health care scandal, she doesn’t have the chops for complex situation handling.

        Sure, but I think…

        Smith was, let’s remember, a media pundit in her past career(s) — known to workshop or test-drive different ideas or theories live on air. Rhetorical spaghetti flung on the wall.

        …covers that pretty effectively.

          It explains her motivations, certainly. Doesnt help her current station, though.

            Her motivation is energy company board seats when she’s out of politics. First, last and always. And it’s been this way since she started with Wildrose.
