More evidence of the Ununited Crazy Party in Fort Mac with the infighting and law suit. As incumbent MLAs see their futures swept away in polls, more knives will surface. Their leader has “Coutts”, “Sovereignty”, and “Pawlowski” seemingly imprinted on her forehead. Any wonder she will be the target by Kenney loyalists? And others!
