I can’t believe we voted her in. I mean I can because Albertans are gullible morons, but I can’t believe it got this bad.
Just checking you're aware the article is satire.
Is it though?
You can tell its satire because it sounds less insane than any of the real things Smith says or does on a daily basis.
I'd argue that even knowing the article is satire, their comment stands.
Oh I know.
She wasn't 'voted in' in the traditional sense..
Jason Kenney stepped down due to numerous scandals and mishaps. The conservative party of Alberta (The UCP) then held a members only vote to elect their new fuhrer.
70k people picked her in a province of multiple million
There was an election since the last UCP leadership race which they won.

But then we got a real election and she still won. So while the job was given to her, she technically earned being Premiere. Just shows how stupid Albertans are, to have voted in someone that was anti government, anti-mask, anti-covid and pro-plastic straws.
I'd be offended if you weren't 100% correct
