So I decided to do what I did with the Liberals, and go through the legislation passed, and see what has been done well for Albertans. Before I did this for the Liberals, I thought they were meh. After I realized the Liberals SUCK at controlling messages and are quietly doing a good job.
Session 1: (29 government bills, these were the only positive)
- Clare's Law - allows those who fear they are in trouble of domestic violence to access their partner's criminal record.
- Opioid damages and health care costs recovery act
One note on session one, I think the trespass statues act is terrible and was solving media hype and not an actual problem. I could see situations where people could get away with some pretty terrible stuff with this act.
There were bills I clicked on here that sounded good, based on the title, but I was either remind about what they actually did or learned how terrible they were.
Session 2 (87 government bills, these were the only positive):
- Critical Infrastructure Defense Act - though they never used it when they needed to, so was it really good?
- Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis - while not perfect, I think Alberta did a better job them most other provinces.
- Opened up arbitration for Mobile Home Site Tenancies, as you could only go to court before.
- Protecting survivors of human trafficking
- Geothermal resource development act - not that they've done what they promised...
- Banned police carding
Session 3 (24 government bills, this was the only positive)
- Provincial court sexual assault awareness training.
Reading some of the bills they passed, the UCP is much worse than what they appear in the media. I left out COVID, because their response was overall terrible, late, or didn't use the good stuff they did pass.
