You might be right but at the same time does smith have any incentive to eventually pivot if she wins the UCP leadership race because of the alberta separatists, anti-vaccine/covid lockdown crowd, extreme free speech crowd votes for her like crazy while the moderates don't even bother to vote in the leadership race. If she's smart she would start appealing to swing voters in calgary by focusing on economic issues if she becomes the next UCP leader but I am not sure if she will do that at this point. Smith is a complete wildcard if she becomes the next UCP leader despite what people think. She might do okay as the UCP leader or she might end up being a complete disaster.
I've often wondered why political leaders surround themselves with sycophants who offer only admiration and approval - and forgiveness for all wrongs - and not people who give them stern objective advice. I wondered this when Trudeau opted to take a vacation to surf in Tofino on the first national Truth and Reconciliation Day. No one had the courage to tell him this was a stupid very bad idea. The bubble appears to be thick in every party. The next election will be Notley's to lose and if she loses she's poor at the job.
