Alberta's Riding Boundaries in Turmoil

Alberta's Riding Boundaries in Turmoil

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Albertas Electoral Boundary Commission report sparks controversy as the UCP government swiftly passes a law to increase seats from 89 to 91, bypassing the majority report. Opposition, led by NDPs Greg Clark, criticizes the move as a partisan maneuver, while the UCP defends it as adhering to the judges addendum. The new setup gives the majority legislature full control, with an advisory group handling tweaks but skipping public hearings. The government promises to mostly stick to the original report, but faces pressure to avoid tilting the scales in their favor for the next election.
