Letter to the editor: In praise of Danielle Smith

IN PRAISE OF DANIELLE

Article content

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is an inspiration to all Canadians who believe in freedom across this once-great country.

Now battered and bruised by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since 2015 with his radical, economy-killing green policies, we are going down the drain. However, there is a heroine who has stepped into the fray and has decided to fight the fire-breathing Ottawa dragon. Smith will have none of that insane carbon tax and zero emissions folly that will destroy this country.

She has been helped along by Saskatchewan Premier Moe, but sadly Ontario, under the stewardship of Premier Doug Ford, has been eerily silent, with the former Toronto councillor deciding to cosy up to Trudeau rather than taking a brave stand.

We need Danielle Smiths in Canada. Pierre Poilievre is cut somewhat from that cloth, but he is in opposition and will be for a good year and a half.

Smith has to prevail or we will become a poverty-stricken, green, tinpot dictatorship.

PERFECT TIMING

Re: Former justice minister David Lametti resigns as Montreal MP to join law firm, online, Jan. 25

It likely is no coincidence that MP David Lametti resigned mere days after the Federal Court ruled that the Trudeau government lacked the grounds to impose the Emergencies Act to break up the convoy protest. After all, it was Lametti who helped bring in the EA as justice minister.

Let’s not forget Lametti got the job after justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould allegedly refused to give SNC-Lavalin the deferred prosecution deal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wanted.

Lametti likely also was not happy being relegated to the back benches, becoming a victim of Trudeau’s DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policy.

IN LEFTIES’ SIGHTS

So the governing body of psychologists in Ontario has decided to make Dr. Jordan Peterson a scapegoat for all those who dare go against their beliefs.

Apparently in this country we are not allowed to comment or question the lefties’ view of the world.

Careful Jordan: As you well know, the woke crowd have you in their sights.

To them, you are the modern-day equivalent of Dracula, and must be destroyed for daring to question their science and beliefs.
