Despite being corrected that grants are determined by academic panels and not Justin Trudeau, Smith not only doubles down on that… She then says that with the powers of Bill 18 she will block renewals of grants if they don’t align with UCP views. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Where to even start with this? 😑

... and another chapter in the prequel

That is NOT what she said. She said if it isn’t balanced and representing all perspectives they would look for a way to make it more fair.

She denied the existing process exists and then threatened renewals of grants. She’s targeting imperical sciences because she doesn’t believe there’s enough conservative journalists. There’s captions for the video if it helps?

“I’ve heard enough…” she says, to justify political meddling in an arm’s length adjudication process. The Maple MAGA version of “many people are saying”. The fascist urge is strong in this one.

What exactly is conservative research? A study into how bringing back indentured servitude would benefit the poor?

World class ground breaking medical research is done here. We are potentially going to lose brilliant medical minds because of her.

You're not hearing what I'm hearing. Is it your Liberal-NDP filter that's blocking you from understanding the inherent fairness, and even-handed approach from Danielle Smith? There's nothing scary in this.

“Balance” is Danielle Smith’s tiny little logic-free brain, means treating unhinged conspiracy nonsense as though it deserves equal billing with sound fact-based reason. This is a slippery slope into a new Dark Age of stupidity & ignorance. #NeverVoteConservative

Watch the brain drain from Alberta. Our universities are going to drop in Canadian and international ratings. In particular, Alberta will be a global laughing stock. #NoMandate
