Politics and governance
Should candidates disclose their donors?
Context:
In July 2020, the UCP government instituted campaign finance rules that no longer require candidates to reveal their donors until after the election, reversing a change implemented by the NDP in 2018. The Alberta Urban Municipalities Association has opposed the change.
