Danielle Smith is Not Fit to Hold Political Office

When does hardball politics become bad-faith governance? In this video, I argue that Danielle Smith’s recent controversies are not isolated incidents. They are part of a longer political pattern: weakening negotiated agreements, escalating institutional conflict, and normalizing separatist rhetoric inside Canada’s federation. This isn’t just about carbon pricing or methane regulations anymore. It’s about democratic trust, the invisible infrastructure that holds federalism together.
