I’m from Alberta. We really are the worst! The Texas of Canada. Danielle Smith is a hot mess.

Aren't those Alberta douchebags free speech absolutists? This sounds highly commie.

R2 That’s exactly right. Free speech when they want to spew their hateful bile, but Gawd forbid a 16 year old should be able to read Jaws or Handmaid’s Tale.

Im over in Saskatchewan, R1 👋 I’m waiting for our premier to follow Smith’s lead on this. He copies her homework to keep Pepe La Polievre happy.
