“Sorry, I’d like to respond. So I think we know that that is not correct. A lot of what you just said there, Premier Smith.”
– Manitoba Premier @WabKinew
@chrisdornan.bsky.social:
Not just days, but less than a minute. She called the court’s ruling antidemocratic 30 seconds before Kinew responded.
@jaredwesley.ca:
“This is why we have the courts, because you can have politicians disagree, and that’s why you take it through the court”: Danielle Smith today after Wab Kinew offered her a master class on the duty to consult.
This comes days after she railed against “unelected judges” being “anti-democratic”.
The longer clip is best one to watch. Satisfying to watch the smug face of lying Smith turn to fury. She’s spoiled by Albertans, American Republicans and Carney letting her lie in peace.
@mynamesnotgordy.bsky.social:
Local woman says consulting with constituents not what democracy means according to her google search.
@grkcanadian:
Brilliant Brillian Brilliant!
@oscilloscoping:
Wab is pretty sharp, you can see Moe and Smith increasingly expressing uncomfortable body language there.
@2815Lucy:
Wow he is a force!! A positive, honest force!!!!
@VicQueenBee:
[Wab Kinew] needs to run for PM in the future. He has a natural leadership quality that cuts through the political swill we’ve gotten too used to. Smith is a prime example of the swill I speak of.
@NAFOmememaker:
I can’t wait to vote for him to be PM
@MullenMulling:
Watching Kinew grin ear to ear as she tried to spin.Wab has a great grin, she’s shit at spin.
@KM0331:
His face listening to Smith is hilarious!
@crackass74:
Wish this bitch would just move to maralago and fuck off
@MLTspecialties:
What a vapid piece of goods Smith is.
@SimShady99:
Gotta say I like Wab. A common sense straight shooter is rare in politics. I hope he can keep it up
@DonaldVinh:
Fact checking, on the spot, helps fight misinformation. Applause to him.
And his capacity to do it calmly and politely, to someone who is so disdained and dishonest, is commendable
@Bratt_world:
FINALLY. Someone just said it the way it is.
Smith needs to grow up. Stop acting like she doesn’t know what is going on
She knows.
@HeatherLongsta4:
Eby and Kinew answer questions intelligent from the press today! Moe and Smith sound like the liars and Traitors that they are, both Trump lovers https://cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/western-premiers-meeting-day-2-smith-eby-9.7212224
@HeatherLongsta4:
Wab put Smith in her place! She’s such a lying traitor!
@komputernik:
It doesn’t matter what’s on the ballot, even the question of having a ballot requires consultation. This is ex-constitutional fraud. A lie.
… A bunch of white supremacist yokels aren’t breaking up my country.
@Orealhvk0:
He killed it. By it I mean that little cockroach Smith.
@bonjoh:
You just got to love someone that will speak up, respectfully, when they hear something false or misleading. It does not happen nearly enough and many people are mislead because of it.
@makeitstop1999:
Maybe next time she’ll think twice before lying her face off.
She needs to be called out more often.
@murphy_brown:
This is called being level headed. Wab Kinew is a straight forward person, methodical, analytical thinker. Not dubious and devious like smith
-@J_All_Day7:
He’s correct on the issue of duty to consult and provided a direct example of why a referendum would trigger such duty.
Smith was told this in December. She pushed it through anyway. Not because she is ignorant, because she is using separation as a scapegoat to shroud herself from the fallout that bringing a motion to question indigenous rights would inevitably garner.
Danielle Smith works for Danielle Smith.
@Scamp9059:
I don’t care that it’s a Premier from another province standing up to corrupt Smith, I’m glad it was done in such a public way to show that Smith she’s full of shit. Thank you @WabKinew
@BantamRooster69:
Smith and Moe sitting there like bad students while Wab scolds the dumb bitch. Poor Alberta and Sask. led by a pair of dumb misfits who are constantly trying to fool their ill educated constituents. Thanks to Manitoba for being a leader in this country. Especially thanks to Wab.
@Patrici81970198:
Danielle has nothing but disgust on her face!
@cwxy6qpb7g:
Thank you Premier Kinew was calling out Danielle Smith’s bullshit!!!! And he’s quite right, why not work together for a few years and put this referendum on the back burner, especially
@WenDB_AB:
OMG, he put her in her place! Love that man 🔥
@intell59:
Wab for the win. Thank you @WabKinew for calling out our premier’s lies. We are sick & tired of all her lies that the press lets her get away with. Thank you.
@Kamzie007:
Called out her bs real-time. No sugarcoating it
@KekwayB:
Shut down her bullshit and call it out. Now more Premiers need to do what Kinew did .
@MJMcCune:
@WabKinew speaking truth to power!
Which of these Premiers visited Trump, even after he threatened to make Canada his 51st state? I’m sure you can easily guess based on helping the separatists with their agenda.
@Jess54380316:
Damn I love that guy..!
Wab is truly one of the best damn politicians we have it’s about time the NDP got the recognition with the contributions they make to this country..!
@Gusinalberta:
Wab is now the new owner of Dani, that was a great response to the separatists premier of Alberta.
@tcareytc:
Finally! Someone is publicly calling Smith out on her rhetoric. Thank you Premier Kinew!
@MondoABx:
Just the facts. Doesn’t get all emotional, doesn’t personally attack Smith.
@sentii2013:
Premier Wab Kinew, I respect you for calling out BS on @ABDanielleSmith
to her face.
@AB_AgainstUCP:
Love how pissed she looks. Good job Wab, put that ghoul in her place
@KM0331:
Wab not putting up with Smith’s BS lies! He does better than most of our media.
@StefanGugumus:
Finally someone has the guts and the knowledge to expose Smith‘s continuous lying. Thank you @WabKinew! You’re doing what I would like to see the media doing instead of just repeating and spreading Smith‘s lies.
@debwalt1956:
I love Kinew’s love of Canada. He eloquently said what each and every other Premier should have the spine to say to Smith.
@me_I_am:
HE CALLED HER OUT..
FUCK THE MEDIA.. HE IS DOING THEIR JOB..
WAB KINEW FOR PM
@VSnetterton:
Beauty. He stuffed the traitor
@CPComm:
@WabKinew is right. Premier Smith is trying to have her cake and eat it too by abdicating personal responsibility for the consequences of her actions while telling Indigenous Canadians and pro-Canadian Albertans let them eat cake.
@SonOfSkunk:
When a bully finally gets hit back lol
@MikeGaber5:
Glad SOMEONE, ANYONE standing up the the CUN# lies!!! Bravo bravo!!!!!!
LNNL Band Official Account @lnnlband.bsky.social:
The Alberta separatism movement is a MAGA nazi payout designed to destroy Canada, every single one of the separatists and the UCP need to be charged w treason
@nanaunicorn.bsky.social:
Wab Kinew is first a kind people person. That shows in his leadership. Second he has a Master’s degree in Indigenous Governance…he knows his stuff!yup, and like her hero Trump, Smith is a sadist, loves to hurt others less fortunate than her royal snobbery self, knows very little, and is not a leader.
@thebreakdownab.bsky.social:
“A potential international border through Alberta would clearly affect First Nations rights, including hunting, fishing, harvesting, movement, lands, jurisdiction, & the Treaty relationship with the Crown”
Blackfoot Confederacy following up on Wab Kinew.
Tanya Kappo @Nehiyahskwew:
“The foundation of this country’s land and governance systems is rooted in the treaties and agreements made with First Nation peoples.”
