It's not quite a year but Jason Markusoff's interview still stands as the most comprehensive template of the UCP's plans for Alberta.
"The premier said that too often, governments hide behind agencies and wipe their hands of policymaking and execution. She wants more of a hand in matters."
Timely.

When you look at the totality of all the Alberta institutions and programs Danielle Smith has begun to reinvent or reshape… it’s a lot. And a lot of risk.

The premier makes no apologies for an ambitious reform agenda. But the more a government dismantles and rebuilds, the more risk there is for road bumps, growing pains and outright mistakes.

If the UCP's priority is to address the health and well-being of kids, then why haven't they fixed wait times at the Stollery that result in things like chemo sessions being canceled or long-standing classroom complexity issues instead of infringing on the rights of 0.37% of Alberta's population

An errant voicemail from a UCP MLA shows just how much pressure they're facing from constituents over their use of the notwithstanding clause.

What happens when you call your MLA?
An errant voicemail gives us insight into how the UCP is handling the backlash against its use of the notwithstanding clause. They're not doing well.

"A common criticism of the current government is that it is mean-spirited. It is at least dispirited — deeply unhappy with its situation and unable to find any path to joy in serving the people of Alberta."
“It was never meant to be used for the benefit of the government itself, only for the benefit of citizens (the public).” - David King, former Alberta Minister of Education
