Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, in a leaked cellphone call, commiserated with a COVID-19 protester about his trial while divulging to him there was an internal dispute over how Crown prosecutors were handling COVID-19 cases.
Smith also promised on the call to intervene as best she could on Artur Pawlowski's behalf and said she was reminding prosecutors "almost weekly" about her concerns over pursuing such cases.
During the 11-minute call, Pawlowski told Smith he believed the prosecutor was seeking to thwart his defence by overwhelming his lawyers and draining his wallet. "I'm watching to see evidence that are going to come to this judgment that many of these cases are unwinnable and not in the public interest.
Smith told a news conference in February she had spoken to Pawlowski, but it was to advise him she could not grant him amnesty. Pawlowski could not be immediately reached for comment. A judge is set to deliver a verdict in his trial in May.
