She bent the knee for trump. She should move out of Alberta and move to the crumbling USA before she creates a crumbling Alberta. If she doesn't bring Alberta with her though, then she is nothing to trump.

Didn't the Alberta unions recently prove they have the spinal strength of a much adored slinky?

And considering Smith's love of the notwithstanding clause, any union standing up should be forming bilateral strike-in-lieu agreements of some kind with multiple other unions.
