An election is not absolution or the sole determining factor of democracy. There are plenty of tyrants who are "elected" on a regular schedule, it doesn't make the society a democracy. I've lost the ability to reply directly to your posts though. Must be a technical error.
@modus_pwnenz I didn’t say it was wrong. I said it’s a weird take to say that the guy who is elected on a regular schedule is more of an authoritarian than the guy who isn’t. You’re mixing up two different issues.

To all of my Alberta lawyer friends. Today is the opening of the Bencher election. I hope that you vote, selfishly, because I am running for Bencher. The ever wise and brilliant @MalcolmLavoie is also running and I would encourage you to vote for both of us.

What's with the recent rumblings of retroactive changing of terms of service? Is legal education that bad or are decision makers just ignoring lawyers? @finseraste @SunKerry ?.

All this angst about Caroline Mulroney is puzzling to me. The Attorneys General are ex officio KCs. It's not a scandle to me.
