EDMONTON — Early January 2023 – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tells Calgary street pastor Artur Pawlowski in a leaked call that charges in a criminal case against him, which are tied to his participation in the Coutts border protest, were politically motivated. She shares his concern the Crown prosecutor is trying to damage his defence with late-stage “document dump” tactics, promises to make inquires on his behalf and report back to him.

Jan. 16, 2023 -- Smith tells the Shaun Newman podcast that she is not pursuing amnesty for COVID-19 rule breakers because she can’t do that under Canada’s criminal justice system. She says people may have been influenced into thinking she could because they mistook it for the U.S. system. Jan. 25, 2023 – CBC News publishes a story citing multiple anonymous sources alleging Smith pressured Shandro and his office to intervene in COVID-related court cases. In a statement, Smith does not address the allegations in the story but instead demands the CBC retract the “baseless” allegations from its Jan. 19 story.

Feb. 10, 2023 -- The government announces Bosscha would be leaving his job to become a provincial court judge on March 27.
