    Minister Brian Mason Visits Lethbridge

    Share this Newsletter with your Community Post Tweet Forward Headline Article: Minister Brian Mason visits Lethbridge On Monday, May 28th, Minister of Transportation, Brian Mason, came through town on a listening tour to talk all things Transportation. SouthGrow attended a meeting with the Minister alongside a number of our members to discuss projects that are important to the region or of particular concern. Mason listen as representatives from the MD of Taber and Lethbridge County talked about the challenges they are facing with bridge repair and replacement, as well as water infrastructure. Cardston was present and was able to confer with the Minister about their hopes for the Caraway border crossing. The Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce and the Highway 3 Twinning Association discussed the economic importance of our trade corridors to the economic well-being of the province. Finally, SouthGrow presented on the time-sensitive need for a decision from the Province regarding funding for the Southern Alberta Electric Vehicle Network. The Southern Alberta Regional Electric Vehicle Network is a partnership between the Alberta Southwest Regional Alliance, the SouthGrow Regional Initiative, the City of Calgary, the City of Medicine Hat, and the City of Lethbridge. This project plans to deploy 19 or 20 Phase 3 fast charging stations across Southern Alberta in order to make electric vehicle travel in the south fully viable. Right now the initiative has almost half the money we need in order to break ground, and we can have assets in the ground by November of this year if we are able to secure matching funds from the Province.

Our municipality was neither informed nor considered while this decision has been progressing. Multiple municipalities from Nonhern Alberta met with Minister Hoffman (Apri|18) to voice our concerns and were assured that we would be advised/consulted/informedbefore any decision was made. It was very disheartening to hear from Gordon Bates (Executive Director — Air Ambulance Services) at AHS, that a decision to award the contract to a single proponent was imminent. This bad decision will be very devastating for the residents of Northern Alberta for the following reasons: - Key components of the RFP process have been completely ignored. For example, one of the criteria identified within the RFP was the condition that hangar space he provided at the air base. The successful proponent does not have hangar space as there is no available space to be had. This calls the entire RFP process into question. Ifthere is no hangar space available, response time will increase as the service will have to come from some other community. Since Peace River had the most Air Ambulance flights last year (1400+), it seems counter-intuitive to bring the planes from outside the community.

    CTF Report on Expense Claims Filed by the Honourable Jim Prentice As Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development

    CTF Report on Expense Claims filed by the Honourable Jim Prentice as Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development August 29, 2014 Derek Fildebrandt Alberta Director Canadian Taxpayers Federation Summary of Findings The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has conducted a review of the Honourable Jim Prentice’s expense claims as the federal minister of Indian Affairs (now Aboriginal Affairs) and Northern Development and found at least one major irregularity worth bringing to attention. The CTF was informed by the department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development (AAND) that Mr. Prentice’s expense claims as the minister of that department – requested in an Access to Information (ATI) request – were destroyed. The CTF filed subsequent ATI requests to ascertain if this was true or not and was soon informed by AAND that in fact, the records were not destroyed. The CTF questions the validity of the reasons given for the “destroyed” records and the completeness of the records eventually released. Mr. Prentice also chartered a private aircraft from the Calgary International Airport with three of his staffers, where it flew to the Calgary Springbank Airport to pick him up. The chartered aircraft then flew to Fort MacLeod, a small town a short driving distance away from Calgary. The aircraft flew at between 27 per cent and 50 per cent capacity and cost an average of $742.73 for each passenger to travel the short distance. This appears to be in clear contravention of travel rules set out by the Parliament of Canada. Background After the resignation Alison Redford from the premiership, Albertans were concerned about the abuse of expenses and entitlements of politicians.

    Alberta Politics in the time of Public Opinion Research Release Date: July 29, 2020 COVID-19: July 2020 Update Field Dates: July 14, 2020 to July 20, 2020 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL Alberta Politics in the time of COVID-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has set off a series of changes in the Canadian political landscape. In Alberta, approval of the government’s handling of the outbreak has remained positive and steady since June– though lagging behind the provincial average. Kenney’s personal favourability has dropped since June while Rachel Notley’s is on the rise; yet, the UCP continues to hold a lead in vote intention due to their strong partisan base. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from July 2020 Canada This Month survey. The online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 300 Alberta residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how those from Alberta are rating their government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that is having on more general government approval and provincial vote choice. Government Approval General government satisfaction is down, but approval of the Alberta government’s handling of the outbreak is steady since June. All-in-all, Alberta still remains 12 points behind the provincial average when it comes to their handling of the outbreak. Alberta Mood: Half (50%) say they are dissatisfied with the 4 performance of the AB government while 43% say they are satisfied Generally speaking, how satisfied are

Abstract Our understandings of health and illness are shaped by the social and political context in which these understandings emerge (Foucault, 1975). Accordingly, I explore the socio-political context in which Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) emerged in Alberta through investigation of three research questions: 1) how did FASD emerge and become recognized as a public health concern in Alberta? 2) how do those in charge of managing FASD in Alberta understand this disorder? and 3) what are the implications of understanding FASD as it is currently understood? The data for this qualitative study was collected through 23 semi-structured interviews, archival research, and document analysis and was analyzed using discourse analysis.
