It’s the Opposition party, not the babysitter pool. Only difference it would have made was to give her more time to think of a better excuse.
Alerting police and elections Alberta seems like what you would do, rather than behind the scenes communiques with elected officials.
What was the turnaround between the NDP learning of it and reporting?
Ahh yes shift the blame. It’s not the NDP’s responsibility to warn you, you’re the premier.
EDIT: I see the NDP did indeed report it to Elections Alberta and RCMP, so removed my line about them not reporting to RCMP when they did. That’s on me for going off reporting yesterday not reading THIS article. But honestly who cares they didn’t report to the UCP, they did their duty by informing the police and EA.
There were a couple UCP senior staffers at the meeting for god sake 🤷🏻♂️. My question would be why UCP members didn’t tell the premier about criminal activity, and what else aren’t they telling her.
> arguing that it was the NDP’s responsibility to have informed the government, not just notify police when it became aware of the breach after the April 16 meeting.
What logic is she using to make that case? If you see a crime, you report it to the police, not your MLA or MP. And since it was a member of her political staff at the meeting, then she was already informed, or should have been, by people who work for her. So again, the NDP had no responsibility to inform her, when someone who absolutely had a duty to report to Smith was present.
> there was no way he could’ve known it was an official voter list from Elections Alberta that he was being shown.
Both him and the NDP attended the same meeting. If one knew it was the official list being shown, the other should as well. Unless this dude is just that incompetent.
> „It’s just business as usual for this government to dox a former premier and put him at risk,“ Nenshi said.
Not as good quip as the Nenshi Nouns, but this is the sort of fire I expect from him.
The sad thing, is that a lot of UCP supporters are going to buy what Marlena is saying, and believe her that Nahid is in the wrong here.
For crying out loud lady! Two of **your senior staff** were in the meeting and they didn’t tell you.
It’s not the opposition’s job to keep you up to date on what your own damn staff are doing. For once, be a leader and own the situation.
Her stance is that she isn’t responsible because her competition should tell her what her staff is doing?
What a terrible fucking boss.
This woman should have been arrested a long time ago. So should have her pre-decessor Jason Kenney.
It’s just a shame Canada’s largest criminal gang (the RCMP) has willingly turned a blind eye to all illegal political activity in Alberta up to this point.
i have literally zero faith they will take action now either.
