New Democratic Party

Given the NDP is currently the governing party, it’s running on its record.

Promises kept: Flipping back through the party’s 2015 election platform, Rachel Notley’s government has completed the vast majority of items including increasing Alberta’s minimum wage to $15 per hour, rolling out $25-a-day daycare and creating a status of women’s ministry.

It also raised Alberta’s corporate tax to 12 per cent from 10 per cent, implemented strategies for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and promised to work with Indigenous and federal governments to resolve land claims, such as the Lubicon Lake Band settlement.

Promises not kept: What it hasn’t done is phased in all-day kindergarten or ban gas drilling in urban areas, which was an issue recently raised in Lethbridge. It also hasn’t established a promised Resource Owners’ Rights Commission, which was supposed to report to the premier and legislature on measures to promote greater processing of energy resources.
