Alberta to Roll Back Tuitions to 2004 Levels
The report urges Alberta to lower post secondary tuitions to 2004 levels and link increases to inflation. It calls for expanded scholarships, lower student loan interest, relaxed work rules, and state funding to cover any college or university funding shortfalls. It also proposes removing the cap that limits tuition to 30 percent of operating costs.

Premier Ralph Klein argues Ontario plans to retire coal plants are shortsighted and that coal can be developed to ultra critical standards with minimal emissions. He cites Calgary speech to the Coal Association of Canada as he contrasts Alberta's energy push with Ontario's delay in closing older plants amid rising demand and new supplies.
