It is true ATB's shareholder is the AB Gov't, however it is run by a seperate board of directors and as such, behaves as any other banking institution in Canada does.
Prior to 1997 of course, ATB had issues as it literally was a branch of the Alberta Treasury, and was managed from the top by politicians, not business people.
