The Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs welcomed Alberta Wilderness Association conservation director Ian Urquhart to a special edition of its YouTube weekly livestream speaker series on Monday to discuss his thoughts on the current coal policy review underway in Alberta. Urquhart said, drawing on his decades of experience as a political scientist, the intentions of the government are always revealed in how it frames the questions it is asking Albertans to “consult” on. In the case of the coal policy review, the government’s bias is obvious, he stated, when it drafts terms of reference around the policy review which precludes land use and water considerations from being part of the policy process.

As the Minister of Education. my role has been guided by a simple phrase: do the right thing for the right reason. I know we have taken the right steps with the Kindergarten to Grade 6 draft curriculum, and put Alberta students on a path to success. After years of declining student academic performance in literacy and math, the new curriculum will renew the importance of teaching foundational knowledge across all subjects to better prepare students for the future. Alberta’s new Kindergarten to Grade 6 curriculum focuses on teaching essential knowledge and skills that students need. We need to make sure our children do not fall behind and we can ensure this by refreshing a curriculum that has not been updated in decades.

Goal: Continue to protect grizzly bears and do not remove their “threatened” status.
The province of Alberta is considering removing the “threatened” status of grizzly bears and the accompanying protections. This would allow grizzly bears to be hunted once again and would also reduce legal repercussions for people who kill them in self-defense. If grizzly bears are no longer protected, their habit would no longer have the same protection, further threatening the species.
Grizzly bears have been protected since 2005 because their populations had decreased drastically due to hunting, poaching, and other human interference. In the last few years, the bears’ population has made a significant comeback. Because of this, Alberta is considering turning them from a magnificent creature that deserves our respect into an animal that is killed, abused and threatened for human entertainment and profit.
