"What a great glimpse into the nitty gritty of how democracy works in Alberta."
Sheila Pratt, Edmonton Journal"[A] sordid litany of shame that anywhere else would make waves."
Bill Kaufmann, Calgary SunIn Alberta’s most recent provincial election, the Tories received less than half the popular vote. Yet, Alberta is often viewed as a virtual one-party province. For decades, the Tories have methodically tightened their grip on power—dodging accountability, manipulating public opinion, and stifling dissent.
In his new book, Kevin Taft, best-selling author and leader of Alberta’s Official Opposition, weaves a groundbreaking, first-person account of how Alberta’s Tories derailed democracy, and what we can do to put it back on track.
This website gives you a sneak peek at the book, and allows you to explore further into the issues it raises. You can also get directly involved by taking our fun and informative democracy quiz, by signing our guestbook, or by meeting Kevin at an event.
