As such, I think this could be politically more important for the Conservatives - negatively - than they are estimating since the majority of Albertans will not fit into this definition.
It's going to cost them, as it should, but they're probably fortunate the opposition continues to be a bunch of disjointed, charisma-less, boobs.

Not to mention that it directly strengthens the powers of human rights commission to intervene in cases involving political or religious speech. Horrifying development for Alberta.
