Very on brand for a traitor.

What's the official punishment for treason again? Used to be summary execution way back when, but I believe we eliminated the death penalty in 1976.

Edit: Just looked it up. 25 years. Ehh, better than nothing if it could stick.

We know damn well our politicians are far too spineless to call this what it is. And i hate to say it, but with the current culture war, locking her up would make some of the right even more radical, they won't agree its treason and fearmonger the government is coming for you next.

Paradoxically, my tolerance for what the right cares about is at an all time low. If there is a legal standing or cause to try her for treason then do so. Likewise, try any agitators who want to make an example of themselves in the wake of this appropriately.

We live in a fucking society.

I agree we shouldn't care if some cry baby cries because someone committing treasonous acts is held accountable, but many of our politicians won't speak up about it because it divides us and it could lose them their seat. Plus our media conglomerates would blow the story up to make more people angry (good for business in media) and divide us further, with a healthy dose of misinformation as well.

From the article: In an interview with Breitbart News in March she appeared to be supportive of Trump and said that federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would be a better ally to the Americans.

“Pierre... would be very much in sync with, I think... the new direction in America,” she told them.


Well, didn't think I'd ever agree with Smith, but here we are.

Yea, that last quote is exactly why pierre didn't win. Don't let the media and social medias fool you, Canadians DO NOT WANT what is happening south of us. Some of us are upset with our leadership sure, but we know hate isn't the answer.

Fucking disgusting. I really hope they get their asses handed to them in the next election. I've heard there are some rural communities that are dissatisfied with the UCP, but not sure if there are enough of them.

[–] JustADrone@lemmy.ca 1 points 31 minutes ago

They’re dissatisfied because the UCP isn’t working fast enough and have become too moderate. Seriously.

Danielle Smith just reeks of treason.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 day ago

*Has admitted to treason.

Only reason to meet with that group as a Canadian politician is to collude with Americans.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Its why her supporters love her
