I thought that the Alberta Next panel was consulting Albertans on the idea of the province gaining more control over immigration. Or is the purpose of Alberta Next to generate support for ideas that the UCP already wants to pursue or is pursuing?

I think this essay, which is not about Alberta, actually is about Alberta. About the resentment and fear many in our resource sectors feel when they see - or foresee - the loss of high paying jobs that didn’t require much or any post-secondary education.

In an era of changing and intensifying weather driven by climate change, gutting the weather service is depraved
The region affected by catastrophic flooding in Central Texas typically averages 28 to 32 inches of rain in a year.
Instead, four months of rainfall came down in four hours.

How extraordinary rainfall caught Texans by surprise
There was little indication of how torrential the Texas downpours would become before dawn. At least 27 people were killed, many of them children at Camp Mystic.

Calling all "fiscal conservatives". A thousand times this👇👇👇
Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.
How did he do it?
NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

Hmmm. As they say, both things can be true
In April, the UCP claimed Alberta had a $5B deficit & used it to underfund healthcare & education.
Now, just under 4 moths, they announced $8B surplus. That’s $13B swing in160 days.
How?
They either misled Albertas or they’re fiscally incompetent.

Alberta ends 2024-25 fiscal year with $8.3 billion surplus thanks to oil, taxes
The surplus represents a significant swing from both Budget 2024's slim surplus and Budget 2025's forecasted deficit of more than $5 billion

The government shouldn't be campaigning during a genuine public consultation.
And the panel should have control over the engagement materials, including the website and surveys.
This is a propaganda exercise and panelists would be wise to consider their role in it.
