«Remember when Premier Danielle Smith laid out her demands to eliminate the 9 Bad Laws? I do. She was firm, focused, and absolutely certain about what needed to change for Alberta to move forward.
So what happened?
Today, Premier Smith insists those bad laws are “gone.” But are they really? In a recent speech to party loyalists, she repeated that claim again and again — yet the room didn’t seem convinced. The applause was muted, the energy flat, and the confidence… shaky.
In this video, I break down her speech line by line. I show how her language has shifted, how her definitions have blurred, and how her stance on the 9 Bad Laws has quietly transformed into something very different from what she promised.
It’s disappointing to watch a message that once felt clear and resolute become muddled and evasive. And it raises real questions about credibility.»
