Premier says she is urging Crown prosecutors to consider the likelihood of conviction in these cases but says in the end it is their call

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who promised less than three months ago to seek pardons for COVID-19 health violators, now says she will let justice take its course.

She stressed the system is founded on an independent justice department and independent Crown prosecutors. She announced she would seek legal advice to pursue pardoning non-criminal violators of health restrictions, such as pastors who ignored gathering limits at services and people fined for not wearing masks.

Premiers should get the ability to pardon!!

While interfering in the justice system? interesting

Should put her expert in the witness stand to Foxsplain her thoughts.

She’s finding out that her witchy magic wand and cauldron isn’t what she professes it to be. Such a shame.
