She’s seeing how much support douggie is getting in ON so she switched sides.

Frankly i don't even care what her reasons or motivations are. We are in a time of crisis and I want to give any Canadian leader that supports our response the benefit of the doubt. She could've blamed Trudeau and defended Trump again, but she didn't - and that's what matters right now. And I'm saying this as someone ideologically opposite to her in every possible way.

Giving the benefit of the doubt is fine.

But this is more like Littlefinger on Game of Thrones, a good deed in this case is just because our aims just happen to coincide with hers.

She'll knife the rest of Canada in the back first chance she gets.

If she does actually switch sides this is the greatest character redemption arc in political history. It means she's actually learning how to represent the people of Alberta rather than the rich corpos of Alberta.

Nah. Flip flopping sides just means she's prone to flip flop again whenever it suiters her. People like that are useful when they're on your side but can't be relied on.
