2021:
* 100th Anniversary of United Farmers of Alberta party being elected on promise to bring in electoral reform, a promise fulfilled three years later, by adopting STV for election of MLAs in Edmonton, Calgary and Medicine Hat.
* 100th Anniversary of the second Winnipeg election in which city councillors were elected through STV.
* 50th Anniversary of election of Lougheed's Progressive-Conservatives. With only 46 percent of the vote they took more than 60 percent of the seats. NDP received 11 percent of the vote but elected just one (Grant Notley*), instead of the nine MLAs it was due.
*father of our last premier Rachel Notley
Thanks for celebrating!
