Still, there will be plenty of political action in the coming weeks - several of the United Conservative Party leadership hopefuls will take part in in-person town halls in Red Deer on Wednesday and Thursday. The first official all-candidates debate will take place the following week, on July 27th in Medicine Hat.
- The Pope is coming to Alberta and taxpayers are footing the bill. The Province is expected to spend around $20 million on various road and infrastructure improvements as well as site upgrades in Lac Ste. Anne and Maskwacis, many of which will be temporary.

- The first-ever edition of what will become the Alberta Institute's annual Alberta Policy Survey is now open. We'd like your help in determining what kinds of issues are the most important for you today, and what types of solutions you would like to see proposed in the future to solve these challenges. Filling out our Alberta Policy Survey 2022 will only take about 5 minutes, but will give our researchers a world of insight into where we should be focusing our attention as an organization.
