Alberta Politics/Economics
A terrific introduction to the effects of neoliberalism in Alberta as well as one-party rule may be found in Kevin Taft’s books Shredding the Public Interest: Ralph Klein and 25 Years of One-Party Government (1997) and Democracy Derailed: The Breakdown of Government Accountability in Alberta- and How To Get It Back On Track (2007) as well as www.democracyderailed.ca Rise Up on CJSR 88.5 FM 5:30 PM Wednesday deals primarily with Alberta and Edmonton political and economic issues. Alberta Views is a good general publication for these and related topics, as is the Parkland Post. The Parkland Institute and Public Interest Alberta are valuable sources of information.
