Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?
Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."
Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

⚠️ URGENT UPDATE: Premier Danielle Smith has now used the Notwithstanding Clause TWICE.
First to force teachers back to work with Bill 2.
Now to override trans rights through Bill 9.
It violates rights, sidesteps the courts, and puts everyone’s protections at risk.

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’ we unpack why Danielle Smith is running Alberta like a cosplay authoritarian because she’s too weak to govern like a Premier.
We break down her fake “strongman” act, her panic over recall laws, and what Albertans can do to push back.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.
And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.
Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.
