Hat Jack Horner fights Alberta boundary changes
Conservative MP Jack Horner attacked proposed electoral boundaries in Crowfoot at the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission hearing. He called the plan a slap at Alberta agriculture and accused the commission of insufficient study, urging retained rural representation and protected 25 percent variance. He proposed redrawing to keep Crowfoot largely intact and extending other rural ridings, with support from Bert Hargrave and rural leaders.
