Bruce Anderson

not just the best at it among the premiers in my view, he stands above many that I can remember who I thought were also really good.

He's just very, he sounds reasonable and he's blunt.

And that combination is a bit rare.

So the way that he interjected politely but bluntly

not just dented her credibility, but gave it a real rough going over.

She's already vulnerable.

A lot of people who are looking at her are going, what exactly are you trying to do?

Is it as cynical as it appears to be?

Do you actually believe in anything?

And

He didn't say all of that, but he raised those questions again, which are already out there extensively.

And she's in trouble in her party and she's in trouble in the province and she's in trouble outside the province, all for reasons of her own doing, as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, one could say, well, you know, the electorate in Alberta is a bit ornery.

Sure.

But, you know, leadership is about making some decisions and the decisions that she's made have made her situation worse.

worse.

And her reaction as I saw it yesterday, I'll finish on this point.

was to sort of say, you know, to the fact that Premier Canoe had taken her on like this, was to say, well, you know, that's why we have courts, because a politician can say one thing and another politician could have another thing.

And this is the same person who basically said only a few weeks ago, I wish we didn't have courts and politicians could, I'm paraphrasing, but basically courts are the enemy of politics and politics should prevail over what judges have to say.

So she's incoherent on that point, as she is on many others.
