Now the question is, will Danielle Smith call an election rather than honoring the wishes of half a million Albertans and risk going into an election after invoking the Notwithstanding Clause to override the Charter Rights of teachers and facing a provincial general strike by other unions that could spiral into a national general strike?
Please please call an election.
There's also the imminent rebranding of the Alberta Party into the Progressive Conservatives.
This is a good move, the Alberta Party is much closer to the old PC policy wise, the UCP is just the Wildrose embracing its worst tendencies.
Why would she call an election? This petition didnt have anything to do with the teacher's strike, it was about AB remaining as part of Canada, in order to jump ahead of the vocal minority of separatists.
I read an article that said that if she called an election right now before the referendum is certified that it will derail this referendum question and give the whiney assholes a chance to get their question certified again. BUT...if Danielle Smith calls an election now to derail the referendum she risks going into the election with all of the unions very unhappy with her.
