It’s very gratifying to see polls that show Chris D’Entremont is still in a decent lead in his riding even as a Liberal.

It blows the narrative that he “betrayed his voters” out of the water. It looks like his voters trust him.

Person over party.

If you intended it to be used only in the case of ethical or illegal behaviour, then why didn’t you put that in the legislation?

Sloppy drafting is not a defence to the use of the law.

One could argue that the notwithstanding clause was also never meant for the purposes to which it’s being put.

The corruption in the AB govt is breathtaking in its scope and audacity, and yet, if Danielle Smith's govt loses the election she's likely to snap in the spring, it won't be because of this. Very few Albertans know or care if they do. #ableg #abpoli

Not only did the AER's CEO unlawfully interfere with the hearing process for Summit's Mine 14, he called the Minister's office for "input" pretty much as soon as the application for reconsideration came in. That's a foul.
