The UCP doesn’t want Albertans to see their new electoral maps. Why? Maybe it’s because they don’t want everyone to know they're desperately trying to rig the next election by gerrymandering your riding.
Opposition NDP Service Alberta critic Gurinder Brar said he's glad to see many of the bill's proposals. But he criticized the United Conservative Party government for voting down a similar private member's bill that the NDP earlier tried to bring forward on ticket reselling.
"Do a better job and help Albertans save more money," he said.

Danielle Smith claims separatists aren't allowed in her party anymore.
So why is Jason Stephan still a UCP MLA after he voted against staying in Canada?
We’ve been demanding a public inquiry for over a year. Danielle Smith and the UCP keep refusing. Why? What are they afraid a public inquiry might uncover?
So that’s why she’s not actually helping Alberta families with health care, affordability, education or creating good jobs...
Danielle Smith is wasting our time and money on the wrong priorities.
“Certainly the First Nations are spending money on lawyers, we taxpayers are spending money on lawyers, let’s listen to what Albertans said on Monday and just drop it,” Nenshi said.

Albertans are dying because they can't get timely care in emergency rooms.
And how has Danielle Smith responded? She's done nothing but waste all of our time and $200 million on a separation referendum we all knew would fail.
Albertans deserve a government that will make life better for them.

Danielle Smith spent even more of Albertans’ money on a TV address last night.
We noticed she left out a lot of things that are top priorities for us and all Albertans.
She didn't forget to thank her separatist friends, though!
NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi repeated Tuesday his accusations that Smith’s referendum machinations are just for her own self-preservation, and that the decline of public faith in Smith has buoyed his own party’s prospects for victory.
“Every time Danielle Smith is offered the choice to do what’s right for Alberta or do what’s right for Danielle Smith, she’ll pick Danielle Smith every single time,” Nenshi told reporters.

Alberta NDP retweeted
Last night, we heard a clear message from Albertans in every corner of this province: they are proud Canadians. Period.
I am proud of everyone who stood up for Canada, including all the volunteers with groups like Forever Canadian and Alberta’s Voice. But in particular, I want to thank the Indigenous people of Alberta. No one has been more hurt by the mistakes of this country, and no one has been a stronger champion of Canada. First Nations Chiefs and Councils, along with countless volunteers, have spoken up for Canada. They took the government to court, and they voted in numbers we’ve never seen before. I am deeply grateful.
I am also proud of our team: over 15,000 volunteers, many of whom were brand new to politics, knocked on over 500,000 doors. We spoke with over one million people. And we learned a lot. Yes Albertans are frustrated: they are frustrated with the cost of living, with the lack of good jobs, with the mess that the UCP has made of public health care and public education. They are frustrated with spending nearly $200 million of taxpayer money on this pointless referendum exercise. In short, they are deeply frustrated with Danielle Smith.
Premier Smith will claim victory today. She will claim she saved Canada. She will claim that she has a strong mandate to pick fights with Ottawa and newcomers now. None of this is true. Albertans know we are only in this situation because of Danielle Smith. She changed the laws three times to help the separatists, and when that didn’t work, she gave them a referendum anyway. She spent $4 million of taxpayer money -- more than ten times what anyone else did -- trying to convince voters to vote for horribly torqued questions and barely eked out a win on any question. She is now seen as the least-popular and least-trusted provincial politician in Alberta. Separatism will always be her legacy.
Meanwhile, Alberta’s New Democrats will continue the fight for a better Alberta. We will remind Albertans that they deserve better, and better is only possible with a better government.
Last night, Albertans saved Canada. Today, we begin the fight to save Alberta.
