    Alberta Election 2019 Environmental Platform Survey Results The Alberta Environmental Network connects Albertans and environmental groups that are dedicated to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment. We are a non-partisan and non-advocacy group that does not take a position on issues but rather supports and enables collaboration amongst our members. In March 2019, we asked Alberta’s seven major political parties with candidates in the provincial election to com- plete a brief survey on their environmental platform. This questionnaire was an opportunity for every political party to speak on topics that are important to our members. We received survey responses from: • Alberta Liberal Party • Alberta New Democratic Party • Green Party of Alberta (one page response) • United Conservative Party These parties declined to complete the survey or did not respond to the survey request: • Alberta Party • Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta • Independence Party of Alberta Here are the 15 questions we asked Alberta’s political parties and the unedited responses that were submitted. For more information about this survey, contact Natalie Odd, Executive Director of the Alberta Environmental Network, at [email protected]. About the Alberta Environmental Network The Alberta Environmental Network (AEN) connects individuals, groups and organizations that are working toward a common purpose to share information and resources. We facilitate dialogue between environ- mental groups, government and other stakeholders. To build the capacity of environmental groups, we provide training and support. We encourage fair process in governance and decision-making in local and provincial governments. As a non-advocacy group, the AEN does not take a position on issues but rather supports collaboration.

  • AB Today – Daily Report February 4, 2019
    AB Today – Daily Report February 4, 2019 Quotation of the day “The only thing more volatile than oil prices these days are cryptocurrencies, so I would say to Mr. Kenney, you’re going to have to do a little bit better than that.” Premier Rachel Notley criticizes UCP Leader Jason Kenney’s suggestion that the oil industry ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ could provide abundant energy for cryptocurrency mining. Today in AB On the schedule The legislature will reconvene on March 18 for the government’s final throne speech before the spring election. Election readiness events take centre stage as parties prepare for writ drop Premier Rachel Notley rallied party faithful at a campaign kickoff in Calgary on Thursday, a day ​ ​ ​ ​ ahead of the official election period. Per the Elections Act, February 1 marked the start of the campaign period and was the first day the premier had the option of calling the election. Under the act, the election can be called anytime between February 1 and May 3. Notley has previously stated the election will be held within the legislated time frame prescribed in the legislation, but has not yet set a date. Pundits are betting the writ will be dropped soon after the March 18 throne speech. “Make no mistake — the choice ahead is the starkest Albertans have faced in decades, a choice for how we build the future and a choice for whom that future is built,” Notley said at the rally. “Is it built for everyday families, workers, everyday Albertans, or is it built for those at the top — elite political insiders and the wealthiest one per cent?” With Notley’s popularity polling higher than her party’s, the NDP’s messaging has pivoted to building “Team Rachel.” Dozens of candidates and MLAs stood behind Notley on stage holding signs reading, “Rachel Notley.

  • University of Lethbridge Alumnus Manwar Khan to Hold Anti-‐Bullying
    For Immediate Release — Wednesday, August 12, 2015 University of Lethbridge alumnus Manwar Khan to hold Anti-Bullying Rally for victims of bullying and violence What: Do Not Be a Bystander Anti-Bullying Rally When: Saturday, August 15, 11:30 a.m. Where: Calgary City Hall – Municipal Plaza space Edmonton-based activist and University of Lethbridge alumnus Manwar Khan (BSc ’07), a father of twins, is holding a rally in Calgary at the Calgary City Hall as he continues to campaign across the province against bullying and violence. “We will be gathering in front of City Hall to show our support for every known and unknown victim of bullying and violence in Alberta,” says Khan, who witnessed a violent attack on an Edmonton LRT train in December 2012. It led to the death of one man and the incarceration of another. Khan invites everyone to gather at City Hall at 11:30 a.m. to rally in support of those who have been affected by violence and bullying. He is also asking people who are not able to attend the rally to leave their porch lights on from 6 to 7 p.m. on August 15, 2015 to show their support for the stand against violence and bullying. Khan established a series of anti-bullying rallies in 2013 and 2014, holding events in Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge and Airdrie. He has vowed to continue to represent victims of bullying and to try and stem the onset of violence so that it does not persist in society. “I believe firmly that it is a matter of great importance to teach our children that bullying is simply not acceptable in our society if we are to achieve safety and happiness for all,” he says.

  • Platform 2015
    Green Party of Alberta PLATFORM 2015 Introduction: The Green Party of Alberta stands with the vast majority of Albertans in supporting strong, publicly-funded institutions to provide excellent education, health-care and open, fully-accountable government. The GPA also advocates for: 1. Ethical resource development Moratorium on expansion of oil sands o The Green Party of Alberta would place a moratorium on additional oil sands projects until the impacts of existing and approved projects on the environment, infrastructure and society are assessed and an overall development policy is created; o Any expansion of the oil sands would also be contingent upon there being negotiated a comprehensive, global plan to address climate change aimed at keeping the world below a 2 degree C temperature rise; o The net result of these changes and others is there would be no need for additional export pipelines; Phasing out the use of coal for electric power generation, with the goal of complete elimination by 2030: o Greens would replace coal generation with renewable power, improved efficiency, small-scale co-generation, demand management, and natural-gas peaking capacity; The Green Party would set a goal of a 50% renewably-powered grid by 2030. We would provide economic incentives for the transition through a combination of carbon tax revenues, feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and regulation; The Green Party of Alberta would give preference to decentralized power which would decrease the need for long-distance transport from large, centralized power plants; 2. Adoption of an Environmental Bill of Rights Alberta’s ecosystems and wildlife habitat have been nickle-and-dimed nearly to death.

  • CRCAG Election Questionnaire to Candidates
    Green Party-Sabrina Levac Calgary-Buffalo CRCAG Election Questionnaire to Candidates To the candidates of Calgary-Elbow, Calgary-Buffalo, Calgary-Mountain View, Calgary- Bow and Calgary-Fort: Please find below a questionnaire from the Calgary River Communities Action Group (CRCAG). CRCAG is a non-partisan organization that has been advocating for upstream flood mitigation since the 2013 flood. We believe that flood mitigation should continue to be priority in this province so that our great city has a comprehensive plan to not only protect against the financial cost that will result from the next flood, but most importantly, the human cost. Implementing upstream mitigation is a matter of public safety and therefore cannot be ignored. As we approach the second anniversary of the 2013 flood, implementing upstream mitigation strategies and infrastructure must be pursued with a sense of determination so that Calgary will be more able to withstand the next inevitable flood. We ask that your responses be sent to us no later than 5PM May 1, 2014 at [email protected]. Your answers will be posted on our website and emailed to our membership for them to review. Thank you, CRCAG Board ELBOW RIVER MITIGATION 1) Are you supportive of building upstream flood mitigation infrastructure for the Elbow River? If yes, what is your understanding of the infrastructure projects for the Elbow River and their current status? As an elected MLA, what do you intend to do to ensure that these projects are completed as soon as possible? 2) Do you believe that
