I have no idea if Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has ever taken dancing lessons but, boy, can she tap dance.

During a news conference in Calgary on Wednesday, she did her best to verbally pirouette around journalists’ questions into a brewing scandal threatening her government over allegations of wrongdoing in health procurement contracts.

Smith reiterated she has done nothing wrong, stands by her health minister, welcomes an internal investigation and suggested she is the victim of vindictive bureaucrats standing in the way of health care progress.
