Eight years ago, Danielle Smith ended her first political fling by jumping into
a dumpster fire. Having botched a merger attempt between two Alberta
conservative parties, she was blocked as unworthy of re-election by her new
political masters.

Just three years ago, Jason Kenney capped a stellar career as a senior federal
cabinet minister to launch the United Conservative Party and start what looked
to be a long run as premier of Alberta.

On the very same day this week, specifically Tuesday, the story of Jason and
Danielle took unimaginably divergent twists as Kenney quit being an MLA in the
party he had created while successor Smith posted an Alberta declaration of
independence as the new premier’s first item of legislative business.



You really can’t make this stuff up and my lingering Alberta DNA from two
decades living there is severely baffled by the goings-on. Polls suggest more
than half of Albertans feel the same way.

Smith has gone straight from the political altar to a divorce from common sense
– and her out-of-the-gate antics suggest she could soon claim the title of
Alberta’s briefest premier.

 * Capital Dispatch: Sign up for in-depth political coverage of Parliament Hill

Not only is this fledgling premier throwing vote-buying cheques out the door for
every Albertan regardless of financial need, she is phoning businesses and
agencies with vaccine mandates in place to request they be dropped if they want
to remain in her good books.

And now comes the kicker – a sovereignty act that will empower the government to
amend laws by simple cabinet decree, compel cities, police and other agencies to
ignore offensive federal laws and to nullify federal actions allegedly hurting
Alberta’s best interests.

To compound the confusion, Smith insists her government may never unleash its
new powers on one hand while ordering her ministers to seek and find ways to
deploy it on the other.

But, but, but, her defenders will argue, the overarching section 2 of the bill
specifically prohibits the Alberta government from acting against the
Constitution or directing anyone to break a federal law or Indigenous treaty
right.

That might be comforting except the Act gives her government the power to decide
what is unconstitutional or an invasion of Alberta’s jurisdiction before acting
against it.


‘JUDGE, JURY AND ENFORCEMENT COP’

In other words, an Alberta cabinet minister would become judge, jury and
enforcement cop in deciding what laws to ignore if, in their view, it’s
“harmful” to Alberta, whatever that means.

And by building in protection against legal review, the government is signalling
it knows the Act wouldn’t survive a constitutional court challenge, which means
it should quickly be denied royal assent from the province’s lieutenant
governor.



The only consolation is how this tougher-than-expected bill will barely pass
Smith’s majority-controlled legislature before the UCP will likely lose the May
election and NDP Leader Rachel Notley landfills the Act.

Look, I get Alberta’s angst, particularly as oil is the engine powering the
Canadian economy and filling federal coffers with windfall dollars for
squandering on pet causes in other provinces.

Albertans want powers of their own after seeing Quebec act in unCanadian ways by
essentially declaring their province unilingually French in a bilingual country,
banning religious attire in public sector jobs and guarding its borders against
unacceptable mostly-refugee immigration.

But to suggest Alberta should simply opt out of curbing carbon emissions, a ban
on certain types of semi-automatic guns or protecting the environment just
because some minister feels it’s unAlbertan is not political power equivalency.
Actions that impact the entire country deserve national imposition.

Now, anyone living through the early 1980s’ National Energy Program (count me
among them) had ample reason to loath federal intrusions into Alberta’s energy
sector.

That move by Prime Minister Trudeau The First sledgehammered the runaway economy
into see-through office buildings and a devastating home foreclosure epidemic.

But today’s perceived grievances are more irritants than impediments to
Alberta’s prosperity.

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may believe Alberta's oil patch is on the
countdown clock to oblivion in this century, which might be correct economically
if not politically, anger over pipeline capacity constrictions are not his
fault.

Keystone was killed by the U.S. president, pipeline capacity to Atlantic
tidewater is blocked at Quebec, Line 5 is at risk from Michigan’s governor and
when the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was in jeopardy, Trudeau bought it
and is building it.

On allegedly “harmful” health issues, Albertans have never faced a federal mask
requirement or vaccine mandate unless they wanted to leave the country.

And to unleash plans to replace the Canada Pension Plan and RCMP just because
they bear Ottawa’s watermark is more about cosmetic tinkering than
constitutional muscle-flexing.

Smith’s sovereignty act does not reflect growing hardcore separatist sentiment
in Alberta. The vast majority of Albertans merely consider Ottawa to be a
left-leaning alien planet best viewed from a considerable distance.

Smith is misreading the Alberta room - and probably a big chunk of her caucus
and cabinet - with her excessive and arguably undemocratic jurisdictional
protectionism.

In the story of Jason and Danielle, Kenney’s challenging pandemic reign will
appear competent by contrast while Smith’s brief stint as premier will enter the
history books as mostly cockamamie.

That’s the bottom line.

IN DEPTH


HERE'S WHAT CENTRAL PLAYERS HAD TO SAY AS THE EMERGENCIES ACT INQUIRY HEARINGS
WRAPPED

After six weeks, more than 70 witnesses, and the submission of more than 7,000
documents into evidence, the public hearing portion of the Public Order
Emergency Commission wrapped up on Friday.




'WHAT IF THE WORST HAD HAPPENED': TRUDEAU EXPLAINS WHY HE INVOKED EMERGENCIES
ACT WHEN HE DID

On the stand at the federal inquiry examining the federal government's
invocation of the Emergencies Act, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed
candidly that a central factor in his historic decision to enact unprecedented
powers to shut down the 'Freedom Convoy' protests, was his fear of what could
happen if he didn't.


RISK OF RECESSION RISING, DEFICIT PROJECTED AT $36.4B IN 2022-23: FALL ECONOMIC
STATEMENT

The federal government's fall economic update makes it clear that while the
deficit is declining, the risk that Canada enters into a recession is rising.


PM TRUDEAU, MPS PAY TRIBUTE TO QUEEN ELIZABETH II IN SPECIAL SESSION

Members of Parliament—many dressed in black—returned to Ottawa on Thursday to
take part in a 'special session' commemorating Queen Elizabeth II and marking
the accession to the throne of King Charles III. The House of Commons held this
historic opportunity to allow MPs to pay tribute ahead of Monday's national
commemorations.


PIERRE POILIEVRE WINS CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP ON FIRST BALLOT

Pierre Poilievre is the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, securing
victory on the first ballot after a record-setting and divisive leadership
campaign. After a seven-month campaign, the long-time MP and former cabinet
minister from Ontario won the election decisively. Securing support across the
country, he told party members they are now 'one party serving one country.'

By declaring even the kitchen a fire hazard and health risk to continued
