She's engineering a backlash against the justice system. By finding way to defund the justice system, she's amplifying the already revolving door nature of the courts to justify brutal police crackdowns. By manufacturing a crisis she can engineer public consent for independence.

Postmedia will help her out by bringing attention to each scary sounding criminal who ends up falling through the cracks thanks to this lack of funding, and they'll try to misrepresent the situation as current judges being soft on crime.

It's depressing that it will work on a good portion of Albertans, just like when UCP cut municipal funding to Calgary and Edmonton, then Postmedia ran a campaign smearing the councils for not being good fiscal managers, leaving out the important detail of the UCP withholding funding and interfering in city projects costing cities millions of dollars.
