But if Smith has to move on from COVID, don’t the NDP and their leader Rachel Notley likewise have to move on from the Sovereignty Act?
After winning the UCP leadership, Smith toned down her most radical rhetoric about the act. Rather than threatening to disobey federal laws, Smith began saying Alberta would resist Ottawa’s intrusions into provincial jurisdiction with all the force allowed and the province would not rollover for federal policies it disagreed with.Moreover, most of the most-dire predictions about the side-effects of the Sovereignty Act never came to pass.
What does that make the NDP’s obsession with repealing the law? A sign that they would quickly resume the game of footsie they played with the Trudeau government, particularly on “green” policies, during their first stint in government between 2015 and 2019?Article content Also at her Thursday rally, Notley continued her campaign theme that she is just an aw-shucks, ordinary, Alberta gal trying to protect middle-class Albertans’ way of life from Danielle Smith’s Trump-like assault.Is turning over labour policy to the big unions, especially the big public-sector unions a mainstream Alberta value? For instance, the NDP have promised to allow only unionized construction companies to bid on public projects like road construction and erecting provincial buildings.
She has promised to regulate family farms as if they were dangerous mines or assembly lines. Where are the mainstream Albertans clamouring for that?
