Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is under fire for once again appearing to associate with people facing serious criminal charges.
Photos at a Wednesday night UCP event Smith standing beside two Albertans charged with offences related to the Ottawa convoy.
One of the people in the picture, James Bauder, is a 'Freedom Convoy' organizer.
He's awaiting trial on charges of mischief to obstruct property, disobeying a lawful court order and obstructing/resisting a peace officer.
Bauder helped pen a letter last year asking the Governor General to remove democratically elected officials – including the prime minister – and to overturn vaccine mandates.
His wife, Sandra Collins Bauder, is also facing charges in relation to her convoy participation.
Both can be spotted beside a smiling Smith in the photo.
