Alberta Premier Danielle Smith must learn to stop apologizing — especially when she has nothing to apologize for. .This latest fiasco about Smith commenting the borders of eastern Europe were withdrawn rather haphazardly after the Second World War should not be cited as an outrageous, false or incendiary statement. It’s beyond dispute. When Germany was divided into East and West, the line that once separated it from Poland was moved left and all kinds of borders were redrawn in the process. Ukraine at the time was part of the Soviet Union and there was little suggestion that it would ever be anything but a Soviet Socialist Republic, held in dictator Joseph Stalin’s tight-fisted grip. .There are sections of Ukraine today that are dominated by a Russian-speaking population that is keen to separate. That might not be the part of the talking points approved by glamour-boy Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but life is complicated, the history of Ukraine is very complicated and the war with Russia is extremely complicated. .Smith is really apologizing for even suggesting we might want to end the war in Ukraine. Have you heard that suggestion from anyone in the West?We continue to ship billions of dollars of arms to Ukraine to keep the war going, but there's not been a serious peace proposal since the conflict began — even as natural gas pipelines explode and the threat of nuclear war escalates. Is this even sane?When did Ukraine become an idealized democratic state that must be preserved as-is, even if it means a mushroom cloud over London and then New York City? .People often wonder how the historical catastrophe of the First World War began when most of the monarchs of the great powers were cousins, and diplomacy was carried on with such elegance and finesse? How did such grand figures of the Belle Epoque stumble into the trenches of the Somme and Passchendaele? Answer: They lost perspective because people stopped asking questions and kept reciting the talking points.That’s what Danielle Smith is refusing to do and that’s why she should stop apologizing for asking the right questions. .But don’t expect this to stop. Every few days, you'll see something come to light that Smith will need to apologize for. Maybe it was that remark about smoking not being so bad for you, or maybe she wasn’t tough enough on those Wildrose candidates who weren’t enamored with the LGBTQ circus.They’ll keep demanding apologies because Danielle Smith is different. She has dared to question the establishment and has dared to tread on the toes of the big pharma industry that wants to you take their COVID-19 vaccine until you have one foot in the grave. . Trudeau blackface-moreTrudeau in blackface .Are these same people in pursuit of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for all the incredibly stupid things he's done over the years? God knows, he got off pretty easy for a lifetime of blackface routines, especially since he was so hypocritical about it. Are there more videos and pictures to obtain? Trudeau said he couldn’t even remember how many times he had made himself up, but the mainstream media had had enough of the embarrassment and backed off. He walked away from the piano bar disaster in London too, looking like an international singing fool when he was supposed to be representing Canada at Her Majesty the Queen’s state funeral. .But Trudeau’s a liberal. Smith’s a conservative. Trudeau reinforces the status quo. Smith is pushing the envelope. Trudeau never sincerely apologized, but blamed everybody else.Smith needs to stop apologizing and realize the left is just blaming her.
