🧠 The Dunning-Kruger Board of Blenvale:

Where Confidence Is Mandatory and Competence… Optional

There’s ignorance.
Then there’s Dunning-Kruger Deluxe™ – proudly worn by the board like a medal from the University of Made-It-Up.

🧠 Diagnosing Kunning-Dunning Governance

If you’ve ever wondered how a condo board could lose two legal decisions, spend over $300,000, and still think they’re doing a stellar job – welcome to the Kunning-Dunning Effect in action.

Coined from the real Dunning-Kruger Effect, this phenomenon occurs when those least equipped to lead are also the most convinced they’re right. Now add a clip-on name tag and a corporate bank account? You’ve got a governance crisis.

Here’s how it shows up:

Symptom	What It Looks Like in Blenvale
Legal Overconfidence	Misquoting the Condominium Act while ignoring actual court rulings.
Delusional Optimism	Launching an appeal without informing owners – and losing.
Policy Amnesia	Forgetting the Human Rights Code exists. Repeatedly.
Strategic Ignorance	Claiming “we didn’t know we had to inform the community” while spending hundreds of thousands.
Reverse Accountability Reflex	Blaming owners, lawyers, and service dogs – anyone but themselves.
Radio Silence	Refusing to resign, refusing to speak, and pretending the last memo never happened.

These are the same folks who, by law, must be trained in:

The Condominium Act,
Human rights obligations,
And basic principles like “don’t sue your own owners without telling them.”

But somewhere between their certificate and their next court loss, that knowledge was replaced with:

“Well, we just don’t agree with that.”

🎓 Mandatory Training, Optional Retention

They took the course. We assume.
Somewhere, there’s probably a certificate in a drawer next to the dried-up highlighters and the list of violations they only enforce on Tuesdays.

But applying that training?
Ah, no no. That would require humility, reading, and the one skill they truly lack:
Knowing what they don’t know.

📜 Exhibit A: The Human Rights Smackdown

They actually thought “accommodation is optional.”
That’s like saying gravity is negotiable, or that court rulings are a matter of personal taste.

It’s not just wrong – it’s legally radioactive.

Yet they forged ahead, eyes blazing, bank account open, logic absent.

🐑 Exhibit B: The Governance Sheep Shuffle

Instead of telling owners the truth, they told them:

I was “just upset,”
Everything was “in the best interest of the community,” and
Laws are more of a suggestion, really.

And when the court said:
“You were wrong. Pay her damages.”
they shrugged and said,

“We strongly disagree.”

💰 Final Bill for the Dunning-Kruger Masterclass?

💸 $300,000 in legal waste
🧾 $17,500 in cost awards
🐾 One service dog they couldn’t evict
⚖️ Two legal losses
🧨 And now? A possible court takeover

All because people who should have known better – chose not to.

🧯 Final Thought

If you ever wondered what happens when self-confidence meets zero legal comprehension and access to a corporate bank account?

This. This is what happens.

They weren’t trained.
They were emboldened.

And now we’re all footing the bill for their crash course in reality.
