It’s that time of year again. I am thrilled to launch the ninth annual Daveberta’s Best of Alberta Politics Survey. There is never a dull moment in Alberta politics so I am excited to hear from you about the big political players of 2025.
I have changed up the categories this year to recognize not just the best MLAs but the work they do in the Legislature and in their constituencies.
