What happens when voters can\u0027t be shocked anymore?
Observing the 2023 Alberta election, it’s a fair question. The province’s premier, Danielle Smith, is competitive in every poll, and even ahead by a bit in a few. And, when you consider what she’s said and done, that’s kind of remarkable.• She’s said cancer patients are to blame for getting sicker — “that’s completely within your control,” she’s said.
• She’s tweeted that she favors redrawing Canada’s map to erase British Columbia, and to give Alberta some waterfront. How can that be? How can someone as dumb as Danielle Smith be considered to be fit to be a small-town dog catcher, let alone a provincial premier? How can someone that ignorant of the law and ethics be in the running, still?
Those of us who put together those newspapers — and, critically, the Twittersphere — were played expertly by Donald Trump. We are, in fact, how he won the White House in 2016. We put him there.
