Why even have elections?

Smith to appoint her own representatives to #Edmonton.

@Chris_MS I saw this and my jaw dropped. Instead of discussing Edmonton (metro) with the people who actually represent it, she plans on talking to the defeated candidates? What the fuck??

@HerMamma Just wild.

I wonder how this would play out in rural Alberta, having the NDP appoint defeated candidates to represent them?

Trucker convoy headed to the legislature tomorrow.

@HerMamma @Chris_MS what a bitter person, she’s giving a big old middle finger to Edmonton and anyone who voted NDP. I’ve also noted over on the bird site (yes I know I should just stop watching the train wreck) the amount of hate directed towards the NDP and Rachel Notely has greatly increased today.

@Dzus @Chris_MS of course it has. They’ve been emboldened by electing people who hate the same people they hate. Why would they be anything but louder? Terrible.

@HerMamma Another angle I’ve seen discussed on this is that this essentially provides stable funding for these candidates to prepare themselves for the next election.

It just gets grosser.

@Chris_MS she basically implied that when she announced it.

"I'm going to put together an Edmonton council of some of the candidates who I know are going to want to run again, there are a couple of fantastic candidates, many, in fact, in Edmonton," Smith said.”
Repeatedly referring to them as Candidates implies she’s just funding them until they can get back into office (imo).

@HerMamma I will never in my life understand a person who votes conservative that describes themselves as a fiscal conservative.
