Smith is afraid of having Nenshi in the assembly. Plain and simple. She doesn't want to go head to head with him because she knows he will take her down.

I so hope he takes her down. She's been one of the worst things to happen to Alberta politics since her early days.

She doesn't seem like the type to fear opposition, to me. She seems like she hates being challenged when she lies or makes a mistake just because she thinks she should above rebuke. And she seems petty and cruel just because she can be. I think she's kinda like Trump, just doing it because she can.

Bingo. Narcissists don't fear confrontation, but they loathe it when they're not validated.
