Summary:

"Alberta is on the verge of a very important election, featuring an extreme right-populist party--the United Conservative Party--versus the New Democrats. Given the current national discourse around energy transition and provincial autonomy--and the rise of the populist right across Canada--this book will provide valuable insight and information to people both inside and outside Alberta."-- Provided by publisher.
