Maduro is a drug dealing corrupt dictator who stole the 2024 election. But I am concerned about this outright violation of international law and the absence of US Congress. This was Trump unilateralism in many ways. What will be the blowback?

Struggling to make sense of polarization and your role as a leader? This is the most important thing you'll read today.
Polarization is not just ideological. It is emotional. It grows when people feel unsafe, unseen, or left behind.
My latest piece explains how leaders can reduce zero sum thinking and rebuild trust in an age of precarity.

The UCP’s excuses for using the notwithstanding clause — “because we can,” “because we have to,” and “because we say so” — do not meet Lougheed's standards.

Defying the Lougheed Doctrine
The UCP's repeated use of the notwithstanding is fundamentally unconservative (and un-Albertan).

Opinion: Notwithstanding clause never meant to be used to benefit the government
Dave King was was there when clause was born in Alberta cabinet. It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself.

Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore.

The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like...
This is getting ridiculous.

Part of a general UCP policy of gutting or defunding (or in some cases both) accountability mechanisms. We see the same thing in access to information where inadequate funding leads to delays & dysfunction as demonstrated by @drewyewchuk.bsky.social in many @ablawg.bsky.social posts.

It's by design: the UCP wanted to pick its voters. 👇
Will the voter suppression work electorally in their favour?
