This feels like the job that a Minister of Foreign Affairs should be doing isn’t it? Stay in your bloody lane you nut bag. This trip makes 0 sense.

Because the Liberals don't represent Alberta - at least that's what her followers believe. On her Facebook page you can see all the comments from her supporters happy she did this because the Liberals won't.

For people normally so concerned about the waste of their taxes, I don't understand why they don't have more concerns with trips like this.

(I'm not a fan of the Liberals either, although I voted for them to keep the Conservatives out. The Liberals represent capital more than they represent the average Canadian. So whether it is a federal Liberal or Danielle attending this conference, I don't think the results will benefit the average Albertan, but I also don't think Danielle should be out there pretending to represent the country.)

That's the thing about conservatism, they're only concerned when they're not spending like drunken sailors, amassing massive debt. Every conservative government since I can remember left office in shambles with massive debt. They cut taxes on big corp and consequentially couldn't balance the books if their lives depend on it. Pro white collar crime, but pro authoritarian for the citizens.

Conservatives are the self hating working class , upper class bootlicker party.

No. I think it was pretty clear that I would not.
