Frankly, I've been growing to care less about news related to Alberta separatism and other absurd stuff coming out of the province, especially after I heard a particular opinion on it: that it's just deadcatting. Smith's got a bunch of lawsuits and corruption investigations going on that she's been doing tons of shady things to push back these last few years, and is doing everything she can to avoid public attention so that Albertans don't start rallying for a public inquiry.

She's literally diverting public attention at things that could get her arrested for life with all this separation talk, because no matter how corrupt and unethical her behaviour is on this issue, it's not illegal so nobody can do much about it beyond booting her on the next election.

Rather than the shitty laws she's putting in place and calls regarding separation, people should be calling her out for all the investigations she's under and calls to make such investigations public rather than to confidentially report to her own party and even block federal investigators.
