Premier Danielle Smith\u0027s video call with pastor Artur Pawlowski steps over so many boundaries that the initial uproar seems almost quaint.

Smith is a new premier but she leads the same UCP government under which all those charges were laid. They stemmed from official pandemic rules that were endorsed by several of her cabinet ministers and most of her caucus. “Obviously, Minister of Justice Tyler Shandro is playing a game here, trying to cause us more harm and more grief, and is just following his directive,” the pastor says.Article content“Let me check on that because I don’t think it would be from the minister. I think the issue is, once the ball is rolling, these Crown prosecutors seem to be very independent.
The premier worked very hard not to offend Pawlowski, who said he was under “house arrest” and facing more than 10 years of prison time.
