flag Alberta’s UCP government bans use of “conservative,” “liberal,” and “green” in party names, sparking democracy concerns.

flag Alberta’s UCP government has passed a law banning political parties from using terms like “conservative,” “liberal,” and “green” in their names, limiting new party formation and sparking criticism over democratic erosion. flag MLA Kyle Kasawski and others argue the move undermines political competition and weakens democratic checks, especially given the UCP’s repeated use of the notwithstanding clause to override court rulings. flag Critics say the law, which restricts names tied to historical parties, reflects a broader trend of resisting accountability and judicial review, raising concerns about authoritarianism. flag They emphasize that genuine conservatism values the rule of law and inclusive debate, calling for a government that upholds democratic principles.
