They are literally making it up as they go along. When they don't like the outcome, the Smith government rigs the process. It's a worrisome pattern for those who care about procedural fairness and institutional forebearance. You know, real conservatives.

“I will never pander to separatists.” Ok, I’m in. The best way to send Danielle Smith packing is to send the NDP to the legislature. And while the best way to do that is to vote them in, they need our support in our time and our $$s to make it happen.
