Danielle Smith's tough talk aimed at thwarting possible 'Take Back Alberta' UCP coup
Smith’s leadership isn’t at risk — not this year, anyway. Control of the party apparatus is what’s at stake, with serious potential for another upheaval.

The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
