Description

In Alberta Politics Uncovered Mark Lisac delivers a clear message that Albertans must stop believing in money and the myth of western alienation and start believing in balanced leadership. In this concise and highly readable explanation of Alberta’s government policies, Lisac examines the &quotbalanced budget,&quot and other current issues, and reminds Alberta voters that we all have the responsibility to hold our government accountable.
