Danielle Smith finalizes membership in her separatist cabinet

  

Naheed Nenshi, Leader, Official Opposition of Alberta, issued the following statement:

  

“Two cabinet ministers “resigned” yesterday, a week after they broke with the premier and opposed the government’s plans to force Albertans into a separatist referendum. Now, Premier Smith is finalizing the membership of her new separatist cabinet. 

 

“This cabinet shuffle does nothing for Albertans. 



“It’s still the largest cabinet in Alberta history. It still has four health ministers overseeing the destruction of public health care. It still has an energy minister allowing for coal mining in the Eastern Slopes. The Indigenous relations minister that recently had every First Nations Chief vote non-confidence in this government is the same. And it still has a municipal affairs minister that is hiring library inspectors. 

 

“This government doesn’t care about the needs of Albertans. It’s doing nothing about the cost-of-living crisis. It’s not creating jobs for the future. And it’s destroying public services. 



“No cabinet shuffle can fix that.”
