Restoring Responsible Government May 12,2006 Ken Graham, Mayor Town of Innisfail 4943 - 53 Street Innisfail, AD T4G l A 1 Dear Mayor, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has declared that within a year he will open the Constitution for discussions, which could soon lead to formal and permanent amendments. Provincial leaders have given the Constitution no thought since Canadians turned down the disastrous Charlottetown Accord 14 years ago. Today, only Quebec knows what it wants-- greater federal transfers from Alberta and Ontario, and less federal interference. This would be bad for Quebec and bad for Canada. But what changes would be good? At this point, the other provinces don' t know. They arc a blank slate. In September, we at the Citizens Centre will be hosting the "Calgary Congress." It's a national public assembly-- led by some of the most in fl uential thinkers in the country-- to debate and resolve the changes Canada needs to succeed. We believe the federal focus must shift away from "entitlements," socialism, freebies, and central government power. You might be surprised how many leading opinion-makers agree about this, and see the Calgary Congress as a way to point politicians in the right direction. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to participate in a forum that could actuall y change the future of our country for the better. Please review the enclosed material and, if you agree with the direction we're taking, register right away to participate in this unusual Congress of Canadians. Sincerely, LuJr< -g~ Link Byfield Danielle Smi th Co-chair Co-chair 203, 10441 - 178 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T5S 1R5 o Ph: 780-481-7844 CJ Fax: 780-481-9983 CJ [email protected] WORK SCHEDULE FROM COUNCIL MEETING HELD May 23, 2006 I .

Alberta itself was established by a brave and ambitious group of citizens who, working together, built strong ties to improve their lives, families and communities. This same trailblazing spirit has, over the years, led Albertans to challenge the status quo; to challenge prevailing opinions and ideas, when necessary; and to accept the challenge of tackling contemporary problems with depth of thought and fullness of courage. This spirit has also led Albertans to historically speak out against inequities and against decisions made or actions taken without due regard for the people of our province. On every key issue, from the Senate to the Canadian Wheat Board to the Kyoto Protocol, Albertans have had, and continue to have, a strong sense of what is best for their families, their province, and their country.

Nixon 2009 UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES The undersigned certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate Studies for acceptance, a thesis entitled “The Construction of Intimate Partner Woman Abuse in Alberta’s Child Protection Policy and the Impact on Abused Mothers and their Children” submitted by Kendra L. Nixon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ___________________________________________________ Supervisor, Dr. Leslie M. Tutty, Faculty of Social Work ___________________________________________________ Dr. Jacqueline S. Ismael, Faculty of Social Work ___________________________________________________ Dr. Wilfreda E. Thurston, Community Health Sciences ___________________________________________________ Dr. Anne Hughson, Community Rehabilitation and Dis. Studies ___________________________________________________ Dr. David Este, Faculty of Social Work ___________________________________________________ External Examiner, Dr. Susan Strega, University of Victoria _________________ Date ii Abstract Although women are most frequently the direct victims of intimate partner violence, there is growing evidence that children exposed to intimate partner woman abuse may also be affected. The increased attention to children’s exposure has prompted child protection authorities to make changes to their policies, in an attempt to protect children. Despite the well-intentioned nature of these efforts, they have been criticized for producing negative consequences, such as, re-victimizing battered women, ignoring abusive men, and failing to protect children.

  • Alberta 2008 Provincial Election As Analyzed with PRP a Comparison of the First-Past-The-Post Results to PRP Results
    ELECTORALCHANGE.CA Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP A comparison of the first-past-the-post results to PRP results Dave Brekke and Ted Dean 9/1/2013 A compilation of the results of the 2008 Alberta provincial election compared to the results of PRP electoral system results using the same election data. Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP Summary To acquire proportional seats without adding seats, two adjacent ridings were made into one riding with the assistance of Alberta friend, Larry MacKillop. Eight-two ridings became forty-one ridings plus forty one proportional seats. The proportional seats helped reach a closer match between votes of political parties and seats won by them. Ten electoral areas were established to give relative closeness to proportionally elected MLAs and the voters who helped to elect them. Each electoral area had four, six, eight or ten MLAs, half representing ridings and half representing their electoral area. For electoral area results, see below. For more on how this system would work and other election results go to www.electoralchange.ca . The Riding of West Yellowhead is not included in this analysis to allow for an even number of ridings. That riding stays its present size, has preferential voting, but will not be in a proportional electoral area. 1 Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP General Comparison of Systems on Alberta 2008 Provincial Election Results All Seat Groupings 10 Seats or Less Political Party PC Liberal NDP Wildrose Green Other Popular

  • Redford Tories Face New Challenges in Once-Safe Seats
    Redford Tories face new challenges in once-safe seats By Sheila Pratt, Edmonton Journal April 8, 2012 Conventional political wisdom says the Conservatives need a firm grip on just one of the two big cities - Calgary or Edmonton - and a solid base in rural Alberta to win an election. For 40 years, the party could count on at least two out of the three. But for Alison Redford, that old formula is wearing thin. For the first time, her party looks ready to lose seats in two areas and is under pressure in Edmonton. Polls show voters in the once impregnable Tory fortress of Calgary are now 41 per cent in favour of the Wildrose, with just 34 per cent backing the Conservatives. A whopping 54 per cent of rural Albertans support the Wildrose, according to a Leger Marketing poll released Friday. Meanwhile, in Edmonton, the numbers are mixed. The Edmonton Journal-Calgary Herald Leger polls puts the Tories ahead with 37 per cent to the Wildrose's 25 per cent. But another poll has the two conservative parties in a dead heat here at 30 per cent each. At the halfway mark in the campaign, here's a glimpse at ridings to watch and possible reasons for the Conservatives' sudden drop from their strong position in February, when polls showed them positioned for a comfortable majority. After two weeks of campaigning, there aren't many safe Tory seats in Calgary, says political scientist Duane Bratt from Mount Royal University. Even in Calgary-West, prominent Redford ally Ken Hughes, former chairman of the Alberta Health Services board, is getting a rough ride.
