Yeah, the Tories are definitely sliding quickly into the same fascist niche that current American Republicans are deep into. And if their concern was drug abuse "ruining" Vancouver and Victoria, I'm sure they'll be pleasantly surprised with things over in Alberta. (/s) The Tories constantly block any and all reasonable efforts to get people the help they actually need to break out of that addiction cycle. So I guess a self fulfilling prophecy for Tory voters.
Don't know much about Danielle Smith, but from what I've heard she definitely comes off as an Anti-trans hyper Conservative fascist, who is speed-running the further enshittification of Alberta.
