She should FINALLY do the right thing and resign. It would be her first and best decision she has made since becoming involved in politics.

Send the red bag packing. I don't even live there anymore and she gets my blood boiling.

I don't think that lady knows what the truth is, she is so power hungry there is no way she will step down.

For those of us who voted for her ... Is this business dissapointing..yes. Is the projected defecit dissapointing ... yes. Is this the first and last political patronage we will see in politics ... no. Is this the first and last defecit we will see in this province ... no. A year from now, I believe we will have found no technical conflict existed. A year from now, we will be hearing about a plan to balance the budget. A year from now, the PC fortunes will be looking bright with Ms. Redford at the helm. How do I know...remember the years of Ralph (I never voted for him 
One of the reasons for my general (not exclusive) support of Ms. Redford, is that she has introduced some practices that are exposing a lot of PC "warts". That takes guts, and a long term vision of what is right. Will there be "warts" exposed in other parties .... I think so ... will they react with outrage ... guaranteed. When things go good for me, I enjoy the day. When they are not so good, I think about tomorrow.

And remember, Harper actually WAS found "In contempt of parliament" once. Big whoop. Didn't mean a thing.

Did you read your link.....it says the Federal govt was in contempt of parliament.....and it seems that this was by a non-confidence vote.
So quite different.

You don't have to tolerate somebody in government who believes in God, homo-sexual "rights" are in full bloom and those awful WR racists are not in power.
You have all that mattered to you on election day.
Be happy. Enjoy the decline.

I think She should not only be fired or what ever, but they should also have another election. As much as we don't like them I feel that it is required.

You are right. It is quite different. In my example there was actually a vote and it was successful. Has there been any vote or charge laid in the issue we are discussing on this thread? Nope.
My point is that just because the opposition howls for a resignation, doesn't mean there is a thing behind it or that it's going to go anywhere. It's an everyday occurance in a parliamentary democracy. "Resign! Shame! Resign!" rings through the legislatures of the country daily.

It also does not mean that because it is the 'opposition" howling that it isn't valid.
Technical or not, call it what it is, a stupid move of entitlement and a conflict of interest.
She is the queen of slime. Apply it to lawyers or politicians, she has set the bar.

Maybe, maybe not. But it's a bit like the boy who cried wolf. When you call for someone's resignation every other day, it loses it's impact. They also haven't brought forward any evidence of conflict of interest. If they had, the RCMP would be charging. I don't care what WR says is a conflict. I care what the law says.

But what about her outright lies in Edmonton yesterday?
Is that enough?

Are you really gonna play that card????
"I don't care what WR says is a conflict. I care what the law says."
Technically??? Really???? The leader of this province needs to wrap her integrity with a technicality?? Really???
Okie, I'm truly sorry to see your relapse. 
BTW no one has called for her resignation every other day. Mostly we're just glad she is somewhere other than Alberta...............taking care of Alberta business.
She is a train wreck.

The law probably says she acted legally.
Do you really want someone that ethically challenged to be leading our province? It may be legal, but it sure stinks.

Yup, I need to see something more than WR saying she is lying and broke the law. IF some Tory said Danielle Smith broke campaign finance laws, I'd expect to see and weight the proof. Man, is that such a foreign concept to you guys? Wait, why am I asking that. LOL

I consider a Premier throwing coins in a rage at homeless people to be ethically challenged too, but we did alright by Ralph overall.
