In recent months, Smith has toured the province speaking to party faithful while introducing policies critics say are aimed at keeping the party’s restless social-conservative flank from voting against her in the review.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This week, her government introduced bills aimed at putting in rules around youth using preferred pronouns at school, along with restrictions on transgender surgery and transgender players competing in female amateur sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also announced a renewed legal fight against the federal carbon levy and introduced a bill to revamp Alberta’s Bill of Rights aimed at giving residents the right to refuse medical treatments, including vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Party members this weekend will also vote on non-binding policy resolutions such as abandoning net-zero greenhouse gas targets and banning transgender women from using women’s bathrooms and change rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has also promised to to introduce legislation next year to restrict how professional regulatory bodies like the College of Physicians and Surgeons police their members — something the party’s base has been calling for since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
