  • The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns
    Choice or Consensus?: The 2006 Federal Liberal and Alberta Conservative Leadership Campaigns Jared J. Wesley PhD Candidate Department of Political Science University of Calgary Paper for Presentation at: The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan May 30, 2007 Comments welcome. Please do not cite without permission. CHOICE OR CONSENSUS?: THE 2006 FEDERAL LIBERAL AND ALBERTA CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGNS INTRODUCTION Two of Canada’s most prominent political dynasties experienced power-shifts on the same weekend in December 2006. The Liberal Party of Canada and the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta undertook leadership campaigns, which, while different in context, process and substance, produced remarkably similar outcomes. In both instances, so-called ‘dark-horse’ candidates emerged victorious, with Stéphane Dion and Ed Stelmach defeating frontrunners like Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae, Jim Dinning, and Ted Morton. During the campaigns and since, Dion and Stelmach have been labeled as less charismatic than either their predecessors or their opponents, and both of the new leaders have drawn skepticism for their ability to win the next general election.1 This pair of surprising results raises interesting questions about the nature of leadership selection in Canada. Considering that each race was run in an entirely different context, and under an entirely different set of rules, which common factors may have contributed to the similar outcomes? The following study offers a partial answer. In analyzing the platforms of the major contenders in each campaign, the analysis suggests that candidates’ strategies played a significant role in determining the results. Whereas leading contenders opted to pursue direct confrontation over specific policy issues, Dion and Stelmach appeared to benefit by avoiding such conflict.

  • Leadership Selection in Alberta, 1992-2011: a Personal Perspective
    Leadership Selection in Alberta, 1992-2011: A Personal Perspective Ted Morton In 1991, the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta changed its rules for selecting its party leader. They abandoned their traditional method of a leadership convention (with delegates drawn from each constituency), and instituted a new one-member, one-vote system. Under this new system, the Alberta PCs have elected three new party leaders: Ralph Klein in 1992; Ed Stelmach in 2006; and Alison Redford in 2011. In each of these leadership contests the winner 2013 CanLIIDocs 380 immediately became the Premier of Alberta. This article looks at the impact of the new selection procedure for politics in Alberta. he 1991 leadership reforms can best be described Initially the Party was quite proud of its new as creating what the Americans call an “open democratic credentials.4 But as these rules were put Tprimary.” Not only is it based on the one- into play in three leadership contests over the next two member, one-vote principle, but the membership decades, they have had significant and unintended requirement is essentially “open”. That is, there are no consequences. I have tried to summarize these in the pre-requisites such as prior party membership or cut- following six propositions: off dates for purchasing a membership.

  • The Oilpatch Packs Its Bags
    The Oilpatch Packs its Bags Financial Post Ted Morton November 6th 2018 Encana is only the latest example of the exodus of capital since 2015. Encana’s announcement last week that it was acquiring Texas-based Newfield Exploration may be good news for the Calgary-based company, but it is not good news for Canada. It is the most recent chapter in an unfolding story of capital flight from the Canadian energy sector. First the big internationals, and now Canadian-based firms like Encana, are moving their operations and/or capital budgets out of Canada and relocating their money to the U.S. and elsewhere. And it’s no mystery why. Thanks to government policies adopted by the governments of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Alberta premier Rachel Notley since their respective elections in 2015, Canada has become a less and less competitive place to invest and do business. EnCana’s $7.7-billion deal for Newfield’s oil assets is its most recent U.S. acquisition. Encana had already made significant new investments in the U.S. in the Permian and Eagle Ford fields over the past three years. This spring Encana CEO Doug Suttles moved to the company’s Denver office, sparking fears that Encana’s head office — with its 1,000 employees in Calgary — may soon move with him. Encana insists that this will not happen. We’ll see. Half its board of directors are now U.S.-based, and with the Newfield acquisition, 60 per cent of Encana’s production is now in the U.S.
