Alberta Premier Danielle Smith

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been in the news recently for her controversial decision to refuse follow-up questions from journalists. Despite criticism that she is dodging important issues, Smith is standing by her decision.

Smith argues that allowing follow-up questions gives journalists the opportunity to ask leading questions or try to trap her into saying something she didn't mean. She believes that her initial answer should be enough to satisfy the public's curiosity, and that follow-up questions are unnecessary.

While some journalists and members of the public disagree with Smith's decision, others support her stance. They argue that Smith has the right to control the flow of information and protect herself from unfair treatment by the media.
