An important thread from Greg Clark, a member of the boundaries commission the UCP struck to draw our next election map. The map the UCP are rejecting & plan to redraw themselves. As he says, “In Canada, we don’t want elected officials drawing their own election maps.” #ableg
Each time Alberta has established an Electoral Boundaries Commission to redraw election maps the government has accepted the commission’s majority report, so I was surprised and disappointed to learn that a committee of MLAs has instead been tasked with creating a new map. /1

But that’s exactly what the UCP are doing. It’s dangerous. It’s undemocratic. It’s cheating. And we can’t let the UCP get away with it. It’s time to get loud. Share this. And tell the UCP you won’t stand for cheating. Premier Smith: 780-427-2251 [email protected] #ableg

But elected officials aren't drawing their own maps. They're appointing a new independent panel that will include NDP appointees, too. Elected officials drawing their own maps is what Nenshi did as Mayor, when he proposed changes to the Calgary independent commission's report.
