“We are committing to work with any and all of our fellow Albertans who agree with us that our rights, our democracy and our Canadian way of life will not be safe until we make Danielle Smith a radio host again, not a Premier,” AFL president Gil McGowan said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.

"If necessary?" How much MORE necessary could it be?

I thought that was weird as well until the article explained that it's kinda quoting a former Prime Minister.

“To play on the words of wartime Prime Minister Mackenzie King: ‘Not necessarily a general strike, but a general strike if necessary.’”
