Episode - 5.16 - Hey Now, You're An R Star...

Danielle Smith came back from her sunny vacation this week and blew in with all the fury of a tropical storm! At her press conference on Thursday, not only did she reveal that she's recently been talking to an anti-vax protestor who claims she promised him a free pass on charges for his involvement in the Coutts border blockade, but also that she never knew that it wasn't;t a power available to a premier to even do that! But then on Friday she released one of the most whitewashed revisionist history videos in recent memory that spurred national backlash before she doubled down on Saturday. All of this is on the backdrop of a proposed program to give successful oil and gas companies $100,000,000 of taxpayers money to clean up oil and gas sites that they had already promised to clean up at a time when many a making record profits of billions of dollars!
