Unless I missed it somewhere, I don't see any details about the Alberta Next survey methodology.
This leaves me with a lot of questions.
This leaves me with a lot of questions.
I started reviewing the Alberta Next report by looking at their polling results.
The numbers in the sample table don't add up.
Can anyone make it make sense?
If not, I'm not sure how we take the analysis seriously.

The UCP is widely expected to use the notwithstanding clause once again on Monday.
Why?
Not just because they can.
And not because they have to.
They're doing it deliberately, whether out of spite, laziness, or expediency.

As we ready for the UCP's 2nd pre-emptice use of the notwithstanding clause in as many weeks, let's clarify what this means.
1️⃣ The move is constitutional. They *can* invoke it.
2️⃣ The UCP is not *required* to do this. There are other means to pass the law.
3️⃣ They should not use it, in my view.🧵

Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

For Canadians being inundated by riding-level polls right now:
The data is crap if it has no dates, small samples (<800), high margins of error.
The people showing them to you are trying to persuade you to vote for their own preferred party.
It's sales pitch, not an evidence-based argument.
