During a forum ahead of the Brooks-Medicine Hat byelection this week, Smith said a group of doctors who are advising her has reached out to Dr. Paul Alexander, a Canadian researcher and former adviser to a member of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. Alexander pushed for a herd immunity approach in 2020 and had previously sought to have greater control over communications from apolitical communications, according to reporting from U.S.-based news outlets.
She did not respond to a number of questions regarding the invitation sent to Alexander or whether he was being considered for inclusion in the group of medical experts.Article content “It’s further evidence that Danielle Smith is listening to fringe voices,” said Caulfield. “There is this large body of evidence that has been accumulated by renowned experts, independent experts from around the world that she could draw on. But instead, she turns to people that have been discredited and that are pushing discredited theories.”
Paul Alexander parrots disinformation typical of malign foreign actors. In seeking his advice, Danielle Smith reveals her true allegiance. Nevermind being bad for Alberta, she is a risk to Canadian national security! ableg CdnNatSec
Gross
Confused. A Doctor is a Doctor unless that Doctor worked with Trump, then the Doctor is no longer a Doctor! abndpcaucus logic 😂🙄abpoli ablefg abhealth yyc yeg
So Dr Paul Alexander has PHD in health research methodology and was kicked out of trumpland for not going along with their schemes .. ..do your research..world renouned medical professionals are good to listen to. ..an open mind listens. ..Danielle Smith does NOT have a PHD
And what is your point? Being anti-Fauchi and anti-propaganda is not a bad thing. So just STOP
If America was safer and richer under Trump with no wars, wouldn't this be a good idea? I mean have a look what Liberalism is doing to Canada.
A Great leaders gathers health information from all experts Not who pays most Phyzer Or? Danielle Smith cares about Albertans She will be hated by NDP/Liberal leaders they support WEF you can’t have two masters BillAlberta _stormiscoming_ DanAlbas albertanbeech
There is an unacceptable and highly offensive word to be used here!
JFC
Trump, no wars, cheap gas, energy independence, I could on and on but the left supports the guy who showered with his daughter and is destroying America.
We’ll be needing an Arrive BC App for our Eastern neighbours
This is great to hear!
CarolJ644 Cue the folks with TDS
Most polite yet. But why not call him a former WHO employee?
Yay!!! It's great to see those not paid and purchased by pharma giving advice to politicians.
He is a brilliant scientist and trying to present him as anything else is despicable. He is not an average scientist. LISTEN TO HIM! He has been right from the beginning.
What is wrong with having A Canadian Virologist Dr present the Science to ABDanielleSmith. RachelNotley only likes the WEF science and drugs tested on 8 mice.
This seems like an awful idea.
Finally some good news from CTV! Thanks for publishing
Good move. Will be nice to have fresh eyes on the ailing system.
Yay...
Why is msm trying to make this a bad thing we will finally get some clarity on the whole Covid plandemic, the lies you guys have published for the last 2 and a half years have done nothing but feed fear and division
Hey ABDanielleSmith stop saying sorry I sound like a fuckn pussy making us all look like goofs and back pedallers stop saying ur fuckn sorry
The biggest vermin in this country? The media. Their SOLE purpose is to serve as compliant liars and censorship lobbyists for the liberals.
This is wrong move. Really Trump.
There's even more truth to this statement now with the bought off, radical, far left wing lunatic 'media'.......
finally some wisdom for Alberta health
Alberta is totally screwed big time! Smith and the entire ucp, trump loving folks need to get the hell out of my province!
Who disqualified this information and these experts? Hmm 🤔 also it's not the 'fringe' it's the opposition. A.k.a a differing opinion or view point. Stop dehumanizing your opposition.
Dr. Paul Alexander Is awesome, I met him in Ottawa
Wasn’t Fauci also a Trump medical advisor? I’m so confused. Please tell me what to think.
So simply using the word TRUMP is enough to ignite the mouth breathing, drooling, leftards into a foaming, OrangeMan bad = Danielle Smith Bad seizure? Man, the zombie media and zee/zer acolytes truly are Vax damaged.
This is Alberta. Why is this seen as a problem? I would suggest it's the norm.
Dr. Paul Alexander has a very impressive curriculum vitae.
Great
Good stuff!
He should not be allowed across the border
Good
This lady is unfit to lead anything! ucp you suck! Get a better leader.
Is this the one that honestly believed that demons were having sex with people in their sleep, or a different one?
Really, a Trump medical expert. What an oxymoron thing to say. Time to move away from Daniel Smith. Making me embarrassed to be an Albertan.
That's a good thing. It's important to get information from a number of sources or else your biased, blind, uninformed and not serious about your job. See Trudeau.
Wonderful news
This Tim Caulfield you are quoting in your article sounds like an extremely prejudiced person. Kind of creepy.
Stop the depopulation jab. Make ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin over the counter. Vitamin D and zinc. Don't follow BS Dr. Fauci.
Dr Fauci is BS.
Somebody tell her to Stop already.
we need input from an unbiased perspective for a change and she is a fresh breeze
Wow! Only the worst will do.
Excellent. Dr Paul Alexander is an expert in his field. Unlike many, he has a respect for the principles of bodily autonomy and voluntary informed consent.
Say it isn’t so.
More Good News!!!
Trump will probably be the next president. The information we get in Canada is pure propaganda. 50% of US voted for Trump yet 99% of Canadians hate him, Why?... disinformation!!!
Holy shit!
😳😷😳😠
Et? Les médecins non pas de politique ! Ils soignent non! C'est bien se que les médias nous disent depuis 3 ans ?
Awesome- nice to hear from someone who might have early treatment solutions and recommendations other than never ending booster shots.
That's the way to convince me to vote NDP.
Awesome...!
Fauci was also an advisor to Trump. Would you be crowing as loud if Smith were meeting with him?
Medical advisor?
And what is the purpose of this merlo g? Oh right Smith fired Dr.Hinshaw
Good.
Can we get his credentials instead this sad attempt to smear him? Why are you so scared if information from credible scientists?
a world renowned medical doctor is better then getting advice from klause Schwab and the world economic forum that she kicked out of ahs any day good job smith
Calgary Herald delivering fake one sided conspiracy theories once again. Dr Alexander was an advisor to the WHO and has a PhD in Health Records. He is highly educated and Danielle is AWESOME for getting a second opinion. Go Danielle!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hahahaha……another nail for her Coffin ⚰️
Guilt by association is a lazy and despicable form of journalism.
Didn't America First Legal Publish documents revealing CDC's mask guidance for schoolchildren was modivated by Political polling rather than science? Maybe that's what the leader we need ABDanielleSmith is looking into!!!
🤢😡
Go Rachel do not listen to all the ndp communists they need to move back to BC
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.
And so she begins to show her hidden self!
Time for a second opinion…
great! Finally an open minded politician that is willing to listen to all the 'experts'!
Good
Your bias is showing Calgary herald. 🤮🤥🤥. I can’t wait till all you msm liars are brought to heel. Or better yet, exposed for the propaganda machines you are.
Excellent news!!! Clean out AHS…the system has failed Enough following the ‘science’ Think of the frontline workers you could hire if you removed these leeches
Seriously the only Dr's aren't paid experts!! Science isnt settled!! And only opinion you listen too is what you want too exaggerate!! Science questioned !! Always!! Biology isnt!
Oh boy!!!
My condolences Alberta.
Great Canadian doctor. Knows his stuff.
And the problem is ?
Just to remind you (Wikipedia quote) 'Within the Trump Administration ... He sought to muzzle federal scientists and public health agencies to prevent them from contradicting the Trump Administration's political talking points.'
So sad! Once the UCP formed and Alberta voted them into power, the first and second step to fascism happened. I fear it has gone too long to be stopped.
Smith seems determined to shoot herself in the foot.
In a photo
Fauci is also a “former Trump medical adviser” too
Typical MSM. If these are just a bunch of crack pot quacks getting together to spread conspiracies, what are you guys so worried about Terrified of the Truth getting out.
Why
Good! Trump 2024.
Read the whole article! A group of doctors have suggested they meet with Dr. Paul Alexander, a Canadian researcher, not just a Trump advisor. Of course a doctor from the University of Alberta would disagree!
Ivermectin for everyone 🤦
Alexander, an 'independent academic scientist & COVID-19 consultant researcher', worked for Trump adviser Michael Caputo who in the 1990s served as an adviser to Russian President Boris Yeltsin & did pro-Putin public relations work for the Russian conglomerate Gazprom Media. 1/
Embracing the medical equivalent of Flat Earthers. How utterly embarrassing for Alberta.
Why are Alberta’s officials so eager to drink USA’s proven toxic, right wing, anti-science Kool-Aid? That misinformation killed people in great numbers down here.
Good luck
I wish the headline was from the pitch bot account….major red flag here. Move on to a real topic ofconcern for a majority of Albertans and not antivax
Don’t act like the spread of trumpfascism is a surprise. Canada’s had the symptoms for years. Just a matter of time.
Can’t wait for the Kardashians to be invited to AB to talk about prison reform …
Danielle Smith showing her true colors... A mini Trump
Good
Right on! I love Premier Smiths grit!
Alberta tax payers should not be paying for this. You represent the people of Alberta not your agenda. People of Brooks and Medicine Hat please do the right thing and not vote her in.
Good.
Well all of notelys top end hires were disastrous and ruined the healthcare system
We’re so f’d! She can’t ever get a seat & UCP needs to be voted out!!! NeverVoteConservative
Sweet Jaysus and Alberans are going to pay for this too aren’t we? We’re doomed.
Terrifying and mortifying!
Trump is pro vaccine. He authorized the rushed vaccine without testing.
So instead of focusing on the individual in question you prefer to center the story around to your Trump Derangement Syndrome 🤦♂️
Might as well appoint DonaldTrump the new premier of Alberta!! 🤦🏽♂️
Is crazy contagious? Did you catch it? I thought Canada had more sense
🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮
Oh, you rascally Canadians. Many good things you could copy from the US, and you pick our politics.
meh defundcityhall
Welcome to Alberta!
They’re still calling the herd immunity misinformation…dumb media. The herd immunity is the only thing that worked. A doctor told me on day one, that this will take about two years and 80% of the population to get Covid for it to finally become a weaker variant. He was spot on
Will there be snacks?
His thesis in 2015 was researching WHO recommendations, I haven’t made it through the whole thing, but it already gives insight to why he thinks the way he does…
Good
You know if ABDanielleSmith wasn't a 🤡, she would just meet the herd immunity folks as there are plenty out there now (dude with a substack, some medical economist, you know that actual GBD grifters) instead of fascist Trump grifters. Seems to be a race to the bottom in ON & AB
Wow 🦇💩🤪
Did the “2 weeks to flatten the curve” happen yet? Or, when will the vaccine prevent transmission? Asking for everyone who believed the “experts”.
Good :)
I sympathize with the Province's embarrassment. 🤦♂️
It's about time we had legitimate experts who have a way that will actually work, and not this endless failed experiment that we've had rammed down our throats for 2.5 years.
Of course…do you ever just wonder….
Berta
Quack, quack!
This is another of Poilievre's extremist pals. We need an investigation into Pee Pee's recruiting of all extremist groups -- not just incels and Diagalon. PeePeeMustGo ExtremistPoilievre
Trump did kiss BiG Pharma’s ass. This one makes me nervous. But I still…
Couldn't she even try to pretend? zaheedonism
Fixed that tweet for you. Before Canadian Democrats freak out, let me do it for them Fact Check: This was photoshopped because humor
Dang she is an embarrassment. A complete vacuous turd.
McMasterU needs to comment on their Alumni PaulAlexander
Serio, move on.
What b.s. back in 2020 everyone was pushing heard immunity, don't make this guy out to be an outlier. I'll bet he now has the same conclusion, heard immunity was never possible with leaky vaccines. You call this journalism? Pathetic.
Good. It's about time all hypotheses were explored. The scientific method doesn't work with biases, pre-conceived conclusions, and censorship.
Good. Make the sheep wake up! Majority of vaccinated people are regretting it now. Those that don’t have no hope.
It's more of a gift with a purchase. Clearance is not enough.
charlierichmond Revised: 'Former President of the United States of America has been invited to meet with Alberta Officials'. Shame on you for this wording. Shame on you charlierichmond for retweeting and your 2x Coal powered EV's.
What could go wrong?
The Subsidize Liberal media promoting 'Guilt by association ' Inviting Doctor or Medical Adviser is not crime in Alberta ABDanielleSmith
Good. Science should always be questioned and not made to be a one sided agenda by Leftists with nefarious agendas. Is everyone afraid some truths might come out and blow the lid off what has happened?
Paul Alexander is a henchman for the misinformation industry. His bosses are religious extremists and oligarchs.
I just had 7 seperate articles from cbc and related media bashing this politician. And I don't live in Alberta. Jesus now I have to like her
🎶Okla-berta yip-eye-aye🎶
Anybody who would choose propagandist Dr. Timothy Caulfield over scientist Dr. Paul Alexander is not following science, they are supporting propaganda.
JFC. The stupid never ends.
Typhoid Mary strikes again!
I wonder how much that costs?
0 days since Alberta hasn’t embarrassed us all.
nutbar, freaking Nutbar running Alberta .
I can't wait untill the NDP go back into power and remove that Smith.
Who in their right mind looks at Trumps record and thinks, yes let's do that? Let's lower our collective life expectancy. Facts f'n matter
Alexander isn’t a doctor who sees patients or anything, if anyone was confused
Oh god the trigger word.. Trump. 😖 learn more, do better.
Reset the counter!
Dr.P Alexander is a Canadian Health Researcher. He was offered 1 Million $ from Pfizer to Stop Speaking at Rally's, with an going $50 000 payment to continue to Not Speak Out. He Declined the Money.
Ivermectin & anti-woke pills 💊 for everyone! Freedom! Pew pew
Because America did so well in its Covid response? 3170 deaths/million compared to 1220... I wonder if she realizes that death rate isn't a high score?
OMG Alberta!!!!! Stop the madness.
Hell - No!
United Conspiracy Party
DS must GO!!!
Better stock up on the bleach
T R U M P
I sense panic on the left. They are about to be openly exosed for the liars they are...
davidpugliese The American madness is spreading into Canada. Alberta Smith is opening her front door to it.
MAGA ( Make Alberta Great Again )
Ffs. We have amazing medical expertise in Canada. Why invite some private healthcare guy who played a part in the US having the highest death rate & disability rate from COVID?!
Crackpot jackpot. CON artist. Snake oil
I can’t believe this isn’t TheBeaverton
UCP is a living nightmare. It’s not funny anymore. Erase this mistake May 29th
Wth
Unrelated question...why do her eyes squint up in pictures when she is trying to make a point. It is somewhat disconcerting TSTL
Dear Jason Copping: Just what the fuck are you doing? You want your name dragged down by a bunch of ivermectin eating, bleach drinking ignoramuses?
Dear God in Heaven....Alberta...please get rid of this individual at the the next election. Further, every time we see her pic, we're reminded of OliverCromwell.
Bring back JK.
And all the far left who've been programmed to hate Trump go 'Reeeeeee....'. 😂
Love it!
And there it is. Diagalon attempting a foothold
Yeah Fauci would be much better 😉
Trump is known to have drank water. If you love freedom and democracy. Follow the science and never drink water.
F me. Sanity has left the building.
Premier Smith will consult with Trump Advisor advocating herd immunity. Paul Alexander emailed CDC Director demanding the agency include language in a Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report on Covid-19 risks to children or 'pull it down & stop all reports.'
Haven't you suffered enough?
Crazy people still oversee Alberta Health and Education.
LOL
It's okay. She'll be tossed out next year into irrelevancy like she was in 2015 by Albertans
Follow the yellow brick road Danielle. It will lead you no where but down. Do you really think anyone associated with Trump would be popular here?
Could be worse
What’s next, Tamara Lich for Lieutenant Governor?
Awesome! Focusing on doctors that believe in early treatment wanting to save lives….new concept! Awesome!
Great. Have all of these Doctors who have been speaking out meet with the AB officials. These same Doctors have challenged Tam and other Top Dictors to debate and discuss. They have never obliged. Because of the paycheck, (aka science) I suppose.
This is like soul cancer merged with moral cancer
davidpugliese WTAF? Alberta is in a race to become the Florida of Canada. Come on I know some of you there are smarter than this…
What an absolute fucking joke we are.
So a direct link between the government of Alberta and the insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the federal government.
because Dr. Demento was unavailable…selectednotelected
On your way to bleach covid treatments and horse dewormer cures in the hospital.
Oh good. I’m sure this will work out well. Fml
davidpugliese
StevenChaulk Lol, Trump is fully vaxxed and told Americans to do the same. Only smart things I've ever seen him do.
Interviewing to become new CMOH? Here I thought Sale had the job locked up.
It is time for people to stand up to the engineering establishment. The so called experts who built our bridges and skyscrapers are frauds. We need to listen to counter narratives aboht our infastructure. Surely there is a sign in our stars that tells us how to build towers!
Thats good. Way better than Trudy/WEF usurpers
FFS. I’d like my province to be better than this. 🤦♂️
Alberta voters should remember they deserve what they elect. Has anyone learned yet? Probably not. Ontario voters seem absolutely ‘excited’ that they gave that shining example of a CONservative bum-chute a majority government.
whyyyyyyyy
Welcome to private health care to those who can afford it. Thanks wackadoodle
Dr Alexander is wonderful. As Dr ALI said:
Well... to be fair, a blind pigeon would be a better medical advisor than what we've had for the past 3 years. (In all of Canada)
DennisKendel You mean the horse doctor? Boy that’ll be a 💩 show!
This is NOT an election winning strategy .
OMG … Kenney is looking so not bad.
But we are using herd immunity. Every where.
Can somebody remind me why the taxpayers will be expected to cover the cost of this?
This is what Alexander said. If Smith is talking to him she is planning to make us all sick. Arrest her “Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions etc. have zero to little risk….so we use them to develop herd…we want them infected…'
Good f**kn grief what a 💩 show
Good. Bring in someone who will shake things up.
She just gets crazier by the day
Good
You are disgrace to our province:-(
great bleach 🤦♂️
American Institute for Economic Research, a Libertarian free market think tank, paid for the Great Barrington Declaration that Paul Alexander purports as a solution. It's been debunked by science. Good background on the wikipedia:
Omfg
QAnon Alber chapter leader SMITH
stg i thought this had to be from one of those pitchbot accounts
(Insert liberal screeching here)
OMFG Alberta! 🤦
Oh boy. At this pace Roger Stone and Alex Jones are going to be on the payroll.
embarrassing
ALBERTA can we NOT please? ableg
Is this a Calgary Herald parody page?
That should go well...
Of course Qanielle is DropTheWrit
This is getting ridiculous! Smith appears to value Trump. What a sad commentary!
🚩
DarylLyseng WTF?
On the one hand I am horrified, not surprised, but still completely disgusted. On the other hand, I want this woman and her party to show their true colours. When May comes, Albertsons will vote with their options having declared themselves, in plain sight. Heaven help us.
Another Bull 💩 supposition
Oh HELL NO! ABDanielleSmith FireTheUCP fireABDanielleSmith
He wants policy makers in jail! I hope the first one to go to jail is DS!
We all saw what happened in Brazil. Even though they had vaccines US death rates were easily double what they needed to be due to misinformation from the Republicans and their FOX overlords. Now Danielle Smith wants to bring the death cult to Alberta. DanielleSmithDeathCult
Smith's surrounded herself with yes people. She's living in an echo chamber.
Well, what gave I been telling you? She’s TRUMP IN STILETTOS!We don’t have any qualified medical experts in Canada? Not ones that will whisper in her ear the radical nonsense she needs to hear to justify her agenda. I hope she loses the Brooks by-election, and slows her down!
Maybe he’ll get stopped at the border. possibly unvaccinated? Just sayin’ like eh. 🙄
A match made in heaven.
Political parties have a long history of electing women only to use them as the scapegoat when they lose the next election. That’s what I hope for relative to ABDanielleSmith abpoli
Oh ffs.
Why, when we have our own experts like Sale and Fleury just waiting for a call?
Here comes horse paste and Hydroxychloroquine to your petri dishes!
Why? I am sure she wouldn't have difficulty finding an equally unqualified CANADIAN advisor to meet with? Or an ALBERTAN - isn't that more on brand? What's with the Conservative parties always dragging American refuse over the border for consulting?
Wow just wow! How low can the UCP go?
ABDanielleSmith is a danger to intelligent, reasonable citizens. Her looney rhetoric is not appreciated and she has no mandate from Albertans for any of these dangerous ideas.
Brooks/Medicine Hat please don't ever let her get a seat in the Legislature. Alberta is Doomed!
How dare you not now to the fearful
She is clearly revelling in her fifteen minutes of infamy. Let’s dearly hope it doesn’t last much longer than that 🙄
Good. Dr. Alexander was right about covid all along. Too bad Trump didnt listen to him and went with Fauci instead.
Does she just try to outdo the previous day's craziness every damn day?
OMFG
Wt….ever loving f**k is that all about? 🙄🤦🤦🤮
Seems if your a loser, and everyone knows it , the UCP party has a great job for you.
simonplittle It is becoming a very dark sitcom next door 😳
Ridiculous
Good.. That is great first step..do not listen to Canadian quacks?
She's going to get hammered for this because a 360 degree view on every issue isn't palatable to the left. Trump should have listened to his advisor,because the vaccine was his biggest mistake by far.
So… can we start admitting that this little experiment was a super bad idea and just get the normal party back in? It’s been a long 3 years 😒
Everything Trump isn’t good for Alberta. This direction Alberta is going under Premier Smith is scary
Good, the more input the better
I guess Dr. Oz is too busy.
Way to support foreign kooks!!! I’m sure they are waaay better than our own homegrown kooks! Another waste of taxpayer money. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead
“Alexander pressured federal scientists and public health agencies to suppress and edit their COVID-19 analyses to make them consistent with Trump's rhetoric.”
