Duane Bratt of Calgary’s Mount Royal University and I take our first blush of the smaller cabinet named by Alberta Premier Alison Redford today. I was particularly interested to hear Prof. Bratt’s observation about the new transportation minister — Ric McIver — and the relationship he’s soon going to have to have very soon with the man who beat him last year in the race for Calgary’s mayor, Naheed Nenshi.
More from colleague Jackie Larson at the Edmonton Sun on the new cabinet.
