Pretzel Logic Factory (Just) East Of The Rockies Adds Extra Shift...

From David Climenhaga's excellent 'Alberta Politics' blog:

RED DEER – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called a news conference yesterday to tell the impertinent journalists who showed up why, as a strong believer in Canadian Confederation, she intends to do whatever she can to ensure her province’s loony separatists get to have a secession referendum as soon as possible...


Apparently, Ms. Smith also did not appreciate it when Doug Ford tried to hand her a logic straightening tool:

...Ms. Smith likewise wasn’t pleased yesterday when Ontario Premier Doug Ford, also a Conservative, reminded her that “we have to stay united … this is about Canada, this isn’t about Ontario or Alberta.” Ms. Smith waspishly suggested he stay in his lane. “I don’t tell him how he should run his province, and I would hope that he doesn’t tell me how I should run mine,” she sniffed during her presser...


Imagine that!

Smith is a Quisling; a fifth columnist; an agent provocateur, trying to hide her government's malfeasance and scandals.

Evidently it is called the "dead cat strategy", where one who has a losing argument, places a dead cat on the table and instantly everyone is talking about the dead cat.
