Week ending 2 Oct 2009 Vol 24, No 7
Feature Article: The work of the electoral boundaries commission is stirring up urban-rural frictions, as expected, but other government initiatives are doing the same. (Casino review)
Also in this week's edition:
- A story about 10 Conservative MLAs defecting to the Wildrose Alliance is silly, but it may serve a purpose within the Conservative caucus. (Don Braid column on MLA rumours)
- Analysts at TD Economics foresee a permanent decline in Alberta's natural gas industry. (TD Economics report on Alberta natural gas industry, PDF, 464 KB)
- The government isn't winning the public relations war over construction of new electricity transmission lines. (AESO - long-term transmission planning, AESO long-term transmission system plan, July 2009, PDF, 7.5 MB)
- Transmission line construction, construction of new generating plants and designing a good retail market for small consumers are recognized as issues in deregulated electricity markets around the world - Alberta fits a standard pattern. (Paul Joskow)
- Two Edmonton journalists write longer pieces guaranteed to rile readers in government and oil industry offices. (Graham Thomson paper on carbon capture, PDF, 16.2 MB, Satya Das book)
- One Conservative MLA gets into trouble with the boss for bold talk; another plays it safer but offers views that are just as bold.
- Old soldiers fade away but old politicians sometimes don't - Ralph Klein and David Eggen still want to play.
