We get to define egregious, illegal, and grossly unethical - not you.

"My government purposely set very high thresholds," Kenney said. "Frankly, we replicated the thresholds developed in British Columbia in 1991 under an NDP government to ensure there's a really broad public demand for a byelection.

"We have it as an ultimate tool of accountability if a politician does something absolutely egregious, illegal, grossly unethical."

    And since Kenney's talking, definitely not Elections Alberta when they were looking into election wrongdoing

    Certainly not the Ethics Commissioner about Premier Smith, because the formal definitions of Ethics are so narrow that no one can be found unethical and suffer any consequences.

    Oh and just for good measure, the UCP will also make sure Professional governing bodies will also define Ethics narrowly with them.
