Week ending 25 Jun 2010 Vol 24, No 41
Feature Article: The government and all the political parties are all trying to get in closer touch with Albertans' inner voters.
Also in this week's edition:
- The $2-billion GreenTRIP plan for transit grants has an open-ended timetable and seems to be losing some of the original focus on "green."
- The province recovers from its budget swan dive and posts a budget deficit of only $1 billion in the 2009-10 fiscal year. (Annual report news release, 2009-10 fiscal summary, PDF, 116 KB, Overall link to materials in annual report)
- The electoral boundaries commission issues a final report that changes some its original recommendations.
- The culture minister got into a bit of hot water by criticizing local TV production, but he's done it before.
- Alberta's physician supply has been keeping pace with population growth.
- A fourth MLA for the Wildrose Alliance spells trouble for the New Democrats.
- Two academics extract an apology from a senior government official who said they had lied in a recent article; the article itself contains serious judgments about the environmental effects of oilsands development.
- Another poll produces yet more reason for the Conservative government to think it's survived the worst.
