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.

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.

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.

  • Student Vote Results
    Notley and the NDP win majority government in province-wide Student Vote Edmonton, May 5, 2015 – More than 85,000 students under the voting age cast ballots in Student Vote Alberta for the 2015 provincial election. After learning about the democratic process, researching the candidates and party platforms, and debating the future of Alberta, students cast ballots for official candidates running in their electoral division. By the end of the school day today, 792 schools had reported their election results, representing all 87 electoral divisions in the province. In total, 82,474 valid votes, 2,526 rejected ballots and 2,123 declined ballots were cast by student participants. There were many close races in the province, with 16 divisions decided by less than 25 votes. Students elected Rachel Notley and the NDP to a majority government with 56 seats, including all 19 seats in Edmonton and 15 of 25 seats in Calgary. The NDP increased their share of the popular vote to 37.1 from 12.9 per cent in 2012. Party leader Rachel Notley easily won in her electoral division of Edmonton-Strathcona with 74 per cent of the vote. The Wildrose Party won 23 seats and will form the Student Vote official opposition.

  • Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017
    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.

    Page 1 of 10 United Right: Who will be the UCP’s Stephen Harper? By Ian Holliday, Research Associate With Alberta’s Progressive A NOTE ON METHODOLOGY: Conservative and Wildrose parties formally joining forces to become the This analysis is based on data donated to the Angus Reid Institute United Conservative Party, the by MARU/Matchbox. The survey was conducted from June 5 – 12, conventional wisdom is that the days of 2017, among a representative, randomized sample of 5,406 Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP Canadian adults – including 599 Alberta residents – who are members of the Angus Reid Forum.

Discrepancies in or between government to improve its standing with totals are due to rounding. Detailed tables are found at the end of Albertans. It’s also enough time for this document. other parties to emerge as potential spoilers. Speculation has already begun about challenges to the UCP’s dominance both to the right and to the left of the new party. The first order of business will be for the United Conservatives to pick a permanent leader – someone to keep their provincial union together and growing the way former Prime Minister Stephen Harper did after uniting the federal Conservatives in 2003.
