There are at least a dozen things Ed Stelmach could do to clean up politics in Alberta. So what has he chosen to change?
Fixed election dates? A citizen’s assembly? More open FOIP rules? Campaign spending limits? A ban on corporate donations? A cap on individual donations? A more powerful auditor general? Independent ROs? More government resources for opposition MLAs?
Nope. Instead he’s gunning for a ban on third party advertising during campaigns – the one change that will actually help him (after the Albertans for Change ads attacked him last campaign).
