Alberta’s Opposition NDP Leader says Premier Danielle Smith’s assurance of a thorough investigation into allegations of interference with Crown prosecutors is “an empty talking point” given new details on the search itself. Smith gives an update in Calgary, Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh
Early January 2023 - Smith tells Pawlowski in a leaked phone call that charges in his criminal case were politically motivated. She shares his concern that the Crown is trying to damage his defence with late-stage “document dump” tactics. She promises to make inquires on his behalf and report back to him. She tells him she is contacting Crown prosecutors “almost weekly” to remind them cases have to be winnable and in the public interest.
Jan. 16 - 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 - CBC publishes a story citing multiple anonymous sources alleging Smith pressured Shandro and his office to intervene in COVID-related court cases. Smith demands the CBC retract “baseless” allegations from its Jan. 19 story.
Is that because most justice systems are corrupt?
Pathetic attempt to discredit the Premier. Shame on CTV news.
She’s the best premier by far
State media doing its thing to push a narrative.
CTV is a political pawn. Maybe mention that sealed documents revealed that Rachel Notley knew Dang was accessing health records of Albertans. Making her an accomplice to a crime
Ctv news Calgary employees should start looking forna new job
Bollocks
No sweat off my ass. See ya
Media gave Trudeau a pass on SNC Lavalin corruption, so unless she fired an AG to get the preacher a pass on prostituting women out to Gaddafi’s son, we couldn’t care less.
Shall we talk about CTV’s wrong doings? Pretty long list there folks!!
Go away Danielle.. you SUCK
She's literally fighting the liberal govt and their unjust edicts. Here's a timeline of events below. 🖕 🖕🤡 🤡🖕 🖕🤡🖕
Trying focusing on the trudeau's crimes. Anything new happening with his fraudulent charity?😆😆😆 paid for propaganda media
She’s the reason we’re moving to Alberta! ❤️
CTV/CBC/CNN … all belong in the trash bin.
Blah blah blah
It's CTV News folks. Just a joke.
How come you have 7 stories criticizing UCP and absolutely no coverage of the Mayor hiding from coments to defund the police?
Tell the truth for once, she said she was going to see if she could do anything about NON VIOLENT AND NON FIREARMS related crimes, so getting rid of the thousands of tickets that were written. Doing her due diligence she spoke with her justice minister and found out she couldn't.
Yes, “accused”. It’s also great to see she stands up against discrimination! Remind me again libtards just how many scandals and crimes has your leader been caught in this far?
Sound familiar? It should. The CCP/Soros network funds the same election interference tactics in the US. This is another reason Trudeau doesn't want a public inquiry into foreign election interference. It's pervasive.
Nothing from CTV is reliable, so I won't even consider reading it. Get it published from a reliable source and I'll look at it.
DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead
She shouldn't even be ALLOWED to run. It's crazy that she might be elected by those who vote con no matter what. Back in the day, she would be FORCED to step down. NOBODY with this cloud hanging over her head should even get NEAR the premier's job. Whatever happened to MORALS?
CTV is government-funded propaganda bought & paid for by tax-payers hard earned dollars without their consent!
CBC about to come out of this looking worse than the lowest of the low, CTVNews !
Vote her out! DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead
It's funny. There's not a single thing that CTV global or CBC can print that I will believe. I won't even waste the time reading. You're lucky I'm even commenting. There are thousands more like me.
We can never get it right. No one is happy. Where does the bikery stop. Either your happy with her or your not. You can't please everyone. People. She's doing her best.
She admitted it on tape.
Surprise surprise surprise
She said in an interview, she did it...
Is she going to sue CTV now?
Propaganda
Any decent leader will be attacked by msm. This country is done thanks to politics and msm. Thank you ctv, your service to canadian citizens is tragic.
Good thing she's cute.
Never trust a floor walker.
UPC insults albertans
Resign
Who cares… there’s no ethics in Canada anymore…
Socialist media doing their part again to support the NDP….what a joke
She needs to resign
How about the Trudeau Foundations President, CEO, etc resigning over foreign donations This is bigger news.
'accused' ...
She needs to resign or fired.
LukaszukAB Resign!
Ms. PotatoHead sure did it this time lol.
CTVNews: *Ignores all of the CRIMES/ETHICS VIOLATIONS committed by the Trudeaus and Liberals*
Aren’t you worried she will sue you?
Not a good look for smith but Trudeau seems to do just fine with scandals so whatever I guess.
We need to look at an actual timeline
Pathetic pathological liar slimy sleazy weasel snakeoil saleswoman spinner horse pasty DICTATOR DS!
I 'accuse' CTV of political and corporate bias and betraying Canadian citizens.
*Yawn.
