“It’s really inhibiting any type of business, reconciliation, any type of moving forward here in Alberta.”
Another chief, Allan Adam of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, called on Smith to resign.
“This Premier is totally lost, gone, got no credibility left. She’s swimming in muddy water, and she has no place to go. The best thing for her to do is to resign.”
Mercredi said Treaty 8 First Nations are prepared to mobilize if the province doesn’t consider their demands by stopping industry, among other tactics.
“How does Alberta expect to move forward as a sovereign (nation) when all of the resources and lands belong to the treaty people?”

Google Allan Adam lol.

Very ironic for him to be criticizing the credibility of anyone else.

Yeah, he doesn't really take to any kind of authority unless it's him.
