Keith Wilson Meets With Mel Knight

[smcgrath76]

per said it. The message is trust us.
That is great, except the bill says that
your MLA doesn't need to be involved in
the decision making process, and as GF
says, the bill explicitly says no one is
entitled to compensation or recourse, or
any other form of appeal.
I bet you would not appreciate giving up
your land for the greater good if you
knew they didn't even have to pay your
moving expenses.
TPFW - Too Pissed for Words

Exactly what they could do too should they so desire. These bills are like the 'fine print' on contracts--you do not read them at your own peril because down the road some MLA, some government, some bureacrat will read them and interpret what they really say and then we will see another Alta Link venture coming through, only by then there will not be any of the soft, fussy ads telling the world how much they value land owner's input and respect their land, yada, yada, yada. As it is now, those of use who have had the Alta Link experience were told what our land is worth and if we did not like that then there is intervener status at the AUC hearings. Also involved is huge expense for lawyers, paper and time to fight something that has been given the blessing of the current Stelmach government, their cronies and those who are going to make a ton of cash from this venture--all at the expense of the taxpayer and land owners....ah but I digress...also TPFW.

On Monday the 7th, Wilsons town hall meetig was in St.Paul, AB.

Minister Danyluks riding . He was present.

After the presentation, Wilson invited Danyluk to the microphone .

Minister Danyluk seemed to do nothing more than back peddle and defend the bills in question .

And the crowd was applauding for keith Wilson and nothing for Minister Danyluk.

... I can not believe that in 2011, as people fight for democracy and freedom around the world, the Alberta government put forth such legislation giving themselves such control.

It will be more unbelievable , and we have no one to blame but our selves if we the people of Alberta ,can't screw up enough courage , and tell our elected representatives we don't like it, and we want it changed.
