Alberta NDP

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has called an election for April 16, launching a 28-day election campaign that will be focused heavily on the province’s oilpatch and its struggle to build new pipelines 

Will a price on carbon be a central issue in Alberta's 2019 election? With opinion polls that show Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party has a wide lead over Premier Rachel Notley's NDP, and signs that oilpatch leaders are undermining the government's approach to pollution, the pressure is on for Notley's team to show their work on the economy, climate change and renewable energy issues.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says her government will be watching the new Trans Mountain pipeline review process very carefully, and will continue to campaign to win the hearts and minds of Canadians in a fight she believes she is already winning.

Alberta’s ruling New Democrats are reassuring the oil and gas industry that a revamped science curriculum won’t portray them negatively, even as they move to ensure students learn that climate change is real.
