  • The Siren Song of Economic Diversification: Alberta's
    Volume 8 • Issue 13 • March 2015 THE SIREN SONG OF ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION: ALBERTA’S LEGACY OF LOSS Ted Morton and Meredith McDonald SUMMARY Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed is celebrated for his defence of the province and Western Canada during the energy wars of the 1970s, and deservedly so. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was a formidable opponent. He was able and willing to use the full arsenal of federal powers to redirect soaring western energy revenues away from Alberta to Ottawa. For those of us in Western Canada, it is unpleasant to imagine what the outcome of this struggle would have been if a lesser man than Peter Lougheed had been at Alberta’s helm. But there is another aspect of the Lougheed legacy that is less remembered because it is less celebrated—also deservedly so. These were Lougheed’s ambitious economic diversification projects. Between 1973 and 1993 (when Ralph Klein became premier), the Lougheed-Getty “forced-growth” economic diversification projects are conservatively estimated to have cost Albertans $2.2 billion. While former premier Don Getty got most the blame for these losses (as many occurred during his watch), most of these programs began earlier. Lougheed’s push for government-led diversification of the Alberta economy was a policy hallmark of his 1971 electoral breakthrough, and marked a sharp break from three decades of Social Credit laissez-faire policies. The Lougheed-Getty diversification fiascos are of more than just historical interest. While the subsequent Progressive Conservative (PC) regime of Premier Ralph Klein (1993–2006) followed an explicit philosophy of “government is not in the business of business,” the more recent Stelmach (2006–11) and Redford (2011-14) governments have not.

  • The Evolution of Government Public Relations in Alberta from 1971-2006
    SELLING GOVERNMENT: THE EVOLUTION OF GOVERNMENT PUBLIC RELATIONS IN ALBERTA FROM 1971-2006 by Simon J. Kiss A thesis submitted to the Department of Political Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (December 2008) Copyright © Simon J. Kiss, 2008 Abstract The public relations practices of the government of Alberta have elicited substantial controversy, particularly under the administration of Premier Klein. However existing analyses have been insufficiently comparative. This dissertation is a within-case comparison of the evolution of government public relations practices under the three Progressive Conservative administrations of Premiers Lougheed, Getty and Klein. The theoretical framework rejects democratic justifications for government public relations, but accepts an “administrative imperative” that recognizes the use of government public relations techniques to accomplish particular policy goals. At the same time, it recognizes that these practices are often linked to important transformations in the broader political economy. A model of incentives and opportunities of why politicians use public relations strategies to accomplish their goals is introduced to examine the particular evolution in the Alberta case. Premier Lougheed’s administration created a new public relations agency dedicated to improving the administrative efficiency of the government’s public relations function. It was marked by restrained forms of government advertising and a documented commitment to a distinct space for government public relations, insulated from the political demands of the elected level of government. Periodic television appearances by the premier appear to be the most aggressive forms of public relations activities. Premier Getty adopted this model, despite a substantially transformed political environment and despite documented advice to change his government’s practices.

    Thank you for covering the EUB spying scandal and debate about whether Calgary's lights will go out. Jason Fekete's excellent article about the cap on wind power raised my eyebrows. Alberta Electric System Operator claims Calgary will soon be facing power outages. If so, why is AESO willing to freeze or boil us with its archaic cap on wind power? It was reported that Carman, Man., broke Canadian records the other day with a sizzling 53 C (humidex). With increasing temperatures evident, I do not like the idea of AESO being allowed to keep available non-polluting power out of the system. AESO claims it has a mandate to protect the public interest; so does the EUB. Instead of "need" for the 500 kV line, I see a questionable cap on wind power and a transmission line that will bring harm to many, but not electricity to Calgary. In my view, this violates the public interest. So does spying on ordinary citizens. Jessica Ernst, Rosebud © The Calgary Herald 2007 Transcript tells a different tale Joe Anglin, Calgary Herald Published: Saturday, July 28, 2007 On July 11 and 12, Energy Minister Mel Knight and AltaLink representatives stated on a Calgary radio talk show that AltaLink's proposed 500 KV transmission line is not intended to export electricity and if this line doesn't get built, Calgary could suffer rolling blackouts. The talk show host took Alta Link's word and insinuated that the opposition speaking against the proposed transmission line was not properly informed. As the leader of the largest landowner opposition group to AltaLink's proposal, it has been extremely difficult for us to battle the Alberta government's and AltaLink's dissemination of inaccurate information to the public The threat of rolling blackouts and the denial that this line is for export is reprehensible given the facts on record.
