#Alberta court convicts Coutts blockader Artur Pawlowski.

The justice system thwarted Danielle Smith's personal preference for dropping “political” charges.
Now Pawlowski despises her for letting him down & he’s forming a party 'Solidarity Movement of Alberta' to run against her.
He wants to be premier. There is no bar against a last-minute formation of a party. Nor is it illegal for a convicted criminal to be a candidate, or even become premier.

@gemelliz As a person of Polish hertitage whose family suffered under (real) Hitler and (real) Stalin, it disgusts me to see this PoS appropriating the symbols of #Solidarity / #Solidarność for his ignorant science-denying self-serving campaign of nonsense. #Freedom is great, but it does encourage the scum to rise to the top. #canpoli

I am sorry.

It's incredible that such an ignorant & hurtful person received so much attention from the premier.
Secondly, given that #Edmonton has the 2nd largest Polish community in Canada & that Albertans of Ukrainian heritage make up 15% of the population, Danielle Smith's popularity simply confounds me.
There's clear documentation that Smith felt Russia's invasion of Ukraine was/is justified. She later 'apologized', but came across as disingenuous.

Vote wisely #Alberta.

@gemelliz You have to love a political activist for whom "democracy" means "I can do whatever I want and you have to do what I say."

🤔 No, wait, not love; the other thing.
