Mark McCourt : Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has promised to "vigorously protect the rights and freedoms of Albertans " He says bureaucrats are trying to persuade UCP MLAs to adopt a no-fault auto insurance scheme.

Polling shows that this concept is staggeringly unpopular with Albertans , who strongly believe in rights and responsibilities, he says.

McCourt says the UCP government is well-advised to put down the "sledgehammer and pick up a scalpel".
