Until Redford is sworn in as Premier, she's Premier-designate of Alberta not the 14th Premier of Alberta. Also we use succeeding & taking office for indiviuals who are between election & assumption of office. We always have done so. GoodDay ( talk) 21:03, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with 117Avenue ( talk) in the removal of Redford CBC video interview. Based on my reading of Wikipedia:External links, adding the video does not violate WP:LINKSTOAVOID
In fact, the link fits well under #3 of "What can normally be linked" "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#What_can_normally_be_linked
Until this dispute is resolved, I urge other Wikipedia editors not to remove this link. – Kempton "Ideas are the currency of the future." - a quote by Kevin Roberts 05:20, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
If we use File:Alison Redford headshot.jpg (based on File:Alison Redford profile headshot.jpg) it would probably be good to identify the author and confirm permission (with OTRS). Otherwise, it could be deleted. I'm sure permission could be obtained, if anybody's willing to go through the process of getting it, which I'm not. -- Rob ( talk) 13:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

this is why I left wiki, some articles such as this one are run by conservatives who will not allow any negative facts into the article, this is a person who is PLAGUED with fraud and controversy at the moment, you can see it on all news sites, but NOT in wiki, and when someone tries to put in the issues, it gets removed. this article is highly biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.25.174.130 ( talk) 22:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Seriously, her PR manager could not have written her a nicer introduction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.238.150 ( talk) 18:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
The relationship with AUPE is significant, I think, and I'm surprised not to see it in the article. Ms. Redford appeared on the convention floor in 2012, praising the 22,000+ members (health care workers, prison guards, etc.) and then in 2013 rammed through legislation which stripped away the union's right to arbitration. In essence, she mandated 0%, 0%, 1% and 1% wage increases over the next 4 years - not even enough to cover the rising cost of living. While there is no direct evidence in the public record as to why the resignation is being given, the reader should be presented as much context as possible, and this information is probably important to providing some of that context. 68.144.172.8 ( talk) 04:03, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
This was just removed from the article
Her resignation also marks the third consecutive instance in which a sitting Alberta Premier has resigned, as opposed to changing as the result of an election. At the time of her resignation, the Leader of the Opposition noted that the Progressive Conservative Party was required to hold "its third leadership contest in eight years, marking another period in which the party would be consumed by internal political turmoil, rather than the business of government." [1]
I don't know - seems like history to me. 68.144.172.8 ( talk) 17:16, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
References
Trying to add in some of the things that Redford did effectively or got right during her term as Premier, but I'm not finding much evidence in the public record of anything. She did stand up for Alberta royalty payments during the dispute with Christy Clark over the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines, but it doesn't seem to be expressed that way in the press, so saying so would be original research.
Interestingly, the Prime Minister's farewell message states:
None of which indicates she actually did anything worthwhile. Being a "strong steward" in essence says she did her job. I guess screwing AUPE out of minimal cost of living increases while denying them the right to job action if they don't like it is being a strong steward.
There was a line in the article about how she was commended for her work in the floods, but I can't find a single source online that backs this up. If it is true, it should be in the article, but there needs to be some clarity on what she actually did in the way of "work". 68.144.172.8 ( talk) 16:22, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
Why does this:
keep getting replaced or deleted? Hancock's term does not count since it is still in progress. This is consistent with every other article on Wikipedia. 68.144.172.8 ( talk) 03:48, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
The section on her resignation suggests that she is a "Red Tory" because of the place her staffers are from. The source for this information is a news article that does not even mention her as a "Red Tory" or what that is. It may be so that she is a "Red Tory". However I doubt this, rather she is a just a progressive conservative that made some leftist promises to win. I think this part needs to be looked into by someone with more knowledge on the matter. However as it reads now the sentence or the source do not support the claim she is a "Red Tory". If she is found to be a "Red Tory" I suggest that the "Red Tory" page be linked to this article for that sentence. As the movement has a rich history and development of thought that cannot be easily explained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathsmith ( talk • contribs) 17:29, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
