Originally Published 1 year ago — by True North

Linda Blade, a sport performance professional, praises Premier Danielle Smith for her measured approach to Alberta's new gender identity guidelines, particularly in addressing the impact of biological males who identify as women on women's sports. Blade supports Smith's stance on creating an open category for both biological males and females while retaining a women's only division for biological women, citing evidence of the competitive advantage transgender female athletes have over women and girls. Blade criticizes Canadian sports policy bureaucrats for straying from fairness and science, and commends Smith for being the adult in the room amidst the controversy.

Smith has faced a series of controversies and gaffes since becoming premier in October, but her win marks a stunning personal comeback. She has promised to stand up to the federal government and proposed a controversial Alberta Sovereignty Act.
