What Happened To Daniel Smith ? Swallowed By The Swamp?

You can’t make this up!!
When Smith interviewed me just a short two years ago before she ran for the Party leadership , she was full of p—and vinegar —democracy —-the people , freedom —no coercion , nothing forced—let the person decide. Especially as it relates to the pandemic. She was curt with me about the Charter and its reach and effectiveness.
Then she is no sooner in power and she appoints Preston Manning to a Covid Inquiry helping to cause a ethical , conflict of interest issue within the already established National Citizens Inquiry in which Manning was intimately involved dealing with the National problems of mandates and lockdowns etc all across the nation , including Alberta. I informed Danielle of this. I recognize that Manning should have resigned from the NCI —but Danielle could have made it a condition of his appointment on her Provincial one, thereby avoiding the conflict of interest issue. She did not!!
Then did the Legislature get involved ? You know Democracy? That which Smith was all about and of which she relentlessly attacked her opponents and the federal Government? No, the Government proceeds to appoint members to the Inquiry and a terms of reference without any reference to the elected Legislature.
And were there Public Hearings?

Jeff Smith, a Senator from Quebec, calls senior citizens the "Greediest Generation" as he compared , Old Age Security to "a Milk Cow with over a million teats".
Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
