    YEAR 4 - FINAL REPORT REGISTRATION DRIVE ELECTION ALBERTA - YEAR 4 FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Apathy is Boring and Elections Alberta have partnered for a four-year project to encourage youth to vote by conducting peer-to-peer outreach, providing young voters with elections information, developing resources with nonprofit partners in both Edmonton and Calgary, and rallying the nonprofit sector around youth electoral engagement. Year 4: Registration Drive - 2 - ELECTION ALBERTA - YEAR 4 FINAL REPORT INTRODUCTION Alberta routinely has some of the lowest rates of electoral participation in Canada. Recent data indicates that Alberta’s youth are the least likely to cast a ballot federally or provincially (Statistics Canada, 2015; Elections Canada, 2012). In the 2015 provincial election, overall voter turnout was 53%; youth voter turnout was much lower, at only 25% (Elections Alberta, 2015). There are a few factors that could explain Alberta’s lower levels of The fact that youth have felt disconnected doesn’t necessarily mean voter turnout: Alberta is the youngest province with a median age that they are disinterested and don’t care about particular issues. of 36.1 years (Statistics Canada, 2012), has the lowest levels of post- Youth are far from being apathetic about the issues that affect them. secondary enrolment in Canada, and the highest dropout rate for It’s about engaging with them in a meaningful way about the issues both university and college (Statistics Canada, 2008a).

  • The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics
    SPP Research Papers Volume 4•Issue 6• May 2011 IS THIS THE END OF THE TORY DYNASTY? The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics Anthony M. Sayers and David K. Stewart1 University of Calgary ABSTRACT The Alberta Tory dynasty begun by Peter Lougheed is now 40 years old. With only four leaders across four decades, the party has managed to maintain its hold on the political imagination of Albertans. It has weathered a number of storms, from minor party assaults during the tumultuous 1980s to the Liberal threat of 1993 and the stresses associated with the global financial crisis. Now it confronts a new challenge in the form of the Wildrose Alliance led by Danielle Smith. Just as the Tories stole the centre ground from beneath Social Credit in the 1970s, the Wildrose leadership team hopes to take what was a fringe right wing party and turn it into a broad coalition capable of appealing to a large number of Albertans. What challenges do they face in repositioning the party? And how will the Tories protect their home turf? In brief, the Wildrose Alliance must modify its policies and present them in such a manner as to be able to plausibly claim that it now reflects the core values of Albertans better than the current government. For its part, the government must select a new leader capable of successfully painting Wildrose as outsiders who cannot be trusted to cleave to the values that Albertans hold dear. What are these values? Strong support for individualism, a populist view of government – including wariness of the federal government – combined with a deep commitment to a role for government in providing core programs in areas such as health care, the environment, and social welfare.
