They were even giving a course on how to do it! <br /><br />http://ncth.confex.com/ncth/2005/techprogram/paper_12550.htm<br /><br />"Results: After applying the above strategies to the Edmonton civic election, a total of 10 of 13 successful candidates agreed to support a 100% smoke-free bylaw. In addition, the lead mayoralty candidate was widely reported to have been defeated at least partially because of his fumbling of the smoking bylaw. As of the time of writing, we are still awaiting the results of the Alberta provincial election."<br /><br />Its not such a strech to Shape the policies of the PC leader that has their agenda on their list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-71101335562632466152006-11-24T15:41:00.000-07:002006-11-24T15:41:00.000-07:00I know Dave agrees to extending the powers of the ...I know Dave agrees to extending the powers of the AG from conversations with him.<br /><br />Good point re complaining about feds and this stuff goes on in Alberta. <br /><br />Another good example where the AG need more power to follow the money is the Fort McMurray land give away in 1999 but couldn't<br /><br />In his October 2005 Report the AG could only conclude incompetence and very poor controls so our government gave away a big chunk of land in Ft McMurray.<br /><br />Yes the GOA literally gave it away by saying it was part of another parcel but had no value because the government deemed it "reserve lands." <br /><br />The profit on the development of the "undevelopable" lands, soon turned into 350+ unit mobile home park with lots selling at over $100,000+ per is one deal with almost as much money forgone as was finally proven as fraudulently misappropriated in the Gomrey Commmission.<br /><br />This deal was not fraud but boy does it smell.

It not only ensures that things are above board but also that the programs are run efficiently and effectively.<br /><br />Again, how can AB complain about the federal government or other provinces when we at home do not set the example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-3196424072561838282006-11-24T13:04:00.000-07:002006-11-24T13:04:00.000-07:00Good point.

If the AG could have the legislative authority to follow the money I would be more confident in the comprehensiveness of his findings and conclusions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-62368302889731246462006-11-24T11:40:00.000-07:002006-11-24T11:40:00.000-07:00Morton is the only candidate that has campaigned o...Morton is the only candidate that has campaigned on creating a stronger auditor general for accountability.
