Gerrymandering or growing pains? Inside Alberta's electoral map controversy

Keith McLaughlin and Amber Ruddy offer sharply different views on Alberta’s electoral boundaries controversy but agree it has escalated into a high-stakes political and legal dispute, fuelled by accusations of gerrymandering. They highlight the tension between fast-growing urban centres and vast rural regions, raising fundamental questions about fair representation, political power, and whether politicians can be trusted to redraw their own electoral maps.
