Informative

Quinton Amundson's Feb. 2 article "While Ottawa zigs, Alberta's Smith zags" was an informative analysis of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. He cites a commentator describing Smith as a "disruptor." But I characterize her as independent minded and willing to follow paths different from other Canadian politicians if it's best for Alberta. From a Catholic perspective her public consultation process to see if new limitations be placed on MAiD eligibility is unique and welcome. Also, note that Trudeau's 'Team Canada' suggested responding to Donald Trump's 25% tariffs by cutting oil exports to the U.S.. That would seriously hurt Alberta's economy so Smith independently negotiated a 10% tariff on oil exports with Trump.
