Albertans must be shielded from Danielle Smith

So Danielle Smith thinks Albertans need to be shielded from federal laws. 

I think that we need to be shielded from the bizarre actions of an unelected premier. 

Danielle Smith assumed the leadership of the UCP and with that, walked into the premiership with a slim majority of those voting at a UCP leadership convention. In stark terms, Ms. Smith is premier thanks to less than three per cent of Alberta’s population. Instead of passing highly contentious legislation, Ms. Smith should be calling an election. Albertans do not need to be shielded from federal legislation – we need a provincial government headed by a democratically-elected premier.
