Premier paints call with street-preacher as conversation between two party leaders yyc abpoli
Smith said she understands people’s concerns about the call.
Melanee Thomas, a political science professor at the University of Calgary, said although the premier of any party has to engage in partisan matters at times, it doesn’t absolve them from their role as a representative for everyone in the province. Thomas said there is a well understood norm of significant restraint expected of any elected official in a role such as premier.
She said if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had tried to use a partisan excuse in the SNC Lavalin affair, it would not have excused what happened in that case, nor would it have eased the concerns of critics. Alberta NDP Justice Critic Irfan Sabir again called for an independent investigation into the call following the morning radio show.
