Municipal Policy Primer: Alberta’s opposition

L->R: Sherman, Mason, Smith, Taylor

Hello all, it is September and I haven’t posted in a while. Today’s topic is going to be municipal policy in advance of a possible election either this fall or in the spring. Whenever it is, it’ll depend on the will of whoever wins the leadership of the natural governing party of Alberta this month.

This post follows the launch of citiesmatter.ca by the Mayor’s Office of the City of Calgary. Since they covered responses of PC leadership candidates, I will only focus on the policies of the major opposition parties. If you really give a crap what the natural governing party has to say, go to the other site.

For the purposes of this discussion, I am going to lumping in affordable housing policies with general municipal policies.
