Episode Details

Albertas electoral boundaries commission releases final report, proposing to scrap two rural seats to balance urban growth. Majority report suggests adding two more seats, while minority report from government appointees pushes different maps blending city and rural spots. Government still reviewing recommendations, with opposition NDP leader Naheed Nenshi threatening legal action if minority maps are adopted. Past commissions had minority views but no rival maps, and experts note governments usually follow main recommendations to keep things non-political. UCP dismisses criticism as tinfoil hat talk and insists on due diligence. Tensions high as Alberta decides whether to stick to independent advice or shake up the map before the next vote.
