Well, she did describe herself as a “libertarian conservative,” admitting she’s more right-ish than Red Tory. “Crazy” I’ll leave to diagnosticians
She had to have some elements if the whole story pulled out of her by the host, but I’d say more than other politicians I’ve heard in long form.
100% agree. Not perfect...doesn't try to be but is honest where past wasn't 100%. More importantly speak well and is a positive mature voice and inspires people. I have no time for spoiled childern or zealots that only belive one way is possible regardless of political party.

Saying past wasn't 100% is quite the understatement. A history like this would normally make political life impossible. But he is educated and winning his riding handily. People are clearly willing to overlook his past... this is interesting.
Curious, was there a concerted round-the-clock media campaign highlighting his faults?

His redemption story was a feature.I recall a bit of stink during a past election.
The now Premier if I recall walked up the stand and proceeded to outline all his past actions that normally would make him untouchable as a politician. Then outlined the changes he made in his life to put that process behind him. Then his vision looking forward.
Transparent, honest, and looking forward.
A true "Elder" to use the Cree title for leadership.
A troubled past and attacks from opponents have not deterred Manitoba NDP leader - Winnipeg | Globalnews.ca
To his supporters, Manitoba NDP Leader Wab Kinew's troubled past is a story of personal redemption. To his opponents, it's one of a man who hasn't fully come clean about his actions.
Would much rather shake hands with a honest and reformed person despite their checkered past than a slimeball who thinks they're getting away with things.
Amen.

You know what they say about only one opportunity to make a good first impression? The lingeringquestionsnegative opinions about Premier Smith would, in many cases, have originated from her October 1998 election to the Calgary Board of Education.
Deconstructing Danielle - Alberta Views
The new Wildrose Alliance leader is remembered with mixed feelings by former bosses and colleagues.
I remember that 1998 election, it might have been the first time that I voted in municipal and school board elections. Or rather, I remember the clusterfuck that was the CBE in the aftermath; Ms Smith was the school trustee for my ward. The partisan political farm team mentality of candidates/trustees for school board was something that negatively coloured my opinion of those who engaged in that entry level of politics back then and continues to this day. There were/are some genuinely dedicated individuals who ran for school board office in the hope of improving public education. My opinion was that Ms Smith was not one of them.
Remember that the leader of the Alberta Republican Party is a dual citizen and former Marine. He may have a somewhat skewed view on the desirability of being American.
At least one can count on Alberta being the biggest contributor to AB’s GDP.
Worked it out since it was bothering me.
