  • 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

    The Gainers Strike: Capitalist Offensive, Militancy, and the Politics of Industrial Relations in Canada ALAIN NOEL AND KEITH GARDNER The unions are very self-serving. In Taiwan workers get $300 a month for the same job. And Taiwan isn't that far away by air. They need to find out what the new realities of business are. Peter Pocklington, Alberta Report, 16 June 1986. You know, it was a very little strike at a very little plant in a very unimportant city. But it took on that kind of significance -they realized they had to win just as badly as we realized we had to win. Dave Wedin Saturday Night, August 1987. he history of Alberta's meatpacking workers is closely connected with the broader historical T struggles of the working class in North America. Like their counterparts from the packinghouses in Toronto and Montreal, the workers of Calgary and Edmonton organized and fought for union recognition between 1911 and 1920, thus joining a labour revolt that was spreading throughout Europe and North America in the wake of World War I and the October Revolution.} They faced stiff resistance. Pat Burns, the Calgary millionaire who owned Burns Packing Plant and employed children for 27 cents per hour, refused to negotiate and said the company "would Studies in Political Economy 31, Spring 1990 31 Studies in Political Economy rehire the strikers as vacancies opened up but would reserve the right to choose who it would take back." The government was unwilling to challenge him and, lacking support from their international union, the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union, the Burns workers were defeated along with those at Swifts in Edmonton.2 They remained non-unionized for almost twenty years.
