Alberta Standing Orders, Referenda and Budget Ink

Usually we wouldn't release two shows so close together, but our last episode on federal issues and this one regarding Alberta topics are too timely to wait. A listener asked for some analysis on the recent changes to the Alberta Legislature Standing Orders as of February 24th. We take a look into what we see as the main changes and what those potentially mean. This could be a more dry section for some listeners. If you are looking to skip to referenda and budget talk, skip ahead to about 20:26 in the episode. Premier Smith announced her intention hold a provincial referendum on two main topics later this year in October - public services for immigrants and provincial input on judicial appointments to the Court of King's Bench. John and I discuss the merits (or lack of) these topic, including if public services for immigrants even costs the province significant amounts. Do you know what the difference in operational spending is in Alberta between 2019 and the proposed budget? The number is shocking. We also take a look at the recently revealed provincial budget for 2026-27 and go through some high level analysis of its operational spending, particularly in health care and education. Are you seeing that much of a benefit for the massive increase in expenditure? Take a listen and find out how much our budget has increased. Hope your sitting down!
