Spoke to a room of lawyers and judges tonight. Told them: when many Albertans picture the UCP base, they picture you.
They were shocked — most of them oppose the democratic backsliding.
I reminded them: as long as they stay silent, that perception will stick.
All pluralists need to speak out.

Now that the notwithstanding clause has become a routine policymaking tool for the UCP, we need to look ahead to their next targets.
This month's AGM will provide clues.
