Danielle Smith’s office “defend[ed] plans to use public money” to travel to the $1500 USD/ticket event
PragerU(niversity)
the not-a-university radio-jock-founded organization is generally known for promoting creationism and the use of fossil fuels. Exactly what was said at the closed event isn’t known, and (according to The Canadian Press) “it remains unclear when, or if, Albertans will get to know all of what Smith said there“. According to other sources, the event exceeded their fundraising goal of $1M.
Example of misinformation from PragerU:
If you break your arm in Canada, you have to wait a week to get it put in a cast.🙄
