Alberta's latest Premier is more in the vein of an all-out far right crazy like MTG (who I know is from GA but feels like she came out of Florida) for whom things like facts and rationality are entirely alien concepts rather than a slimy weasel who repels everyone in a 20 ft. radius around them and intentionally and purposefully causes damage.
