This marked the first time that the NDP formed a government in the history of Alberta. The election was closely watched and analyzed, and Orange Chinook is the first scholarly analysis of this significant event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines the legacy of the Progressive Conservative dynasty, the PC and NDP campaigns, polling, and online politics, providing valuable context and setting the stage for understanding the election. It highlights the importance of Alberta's energy sector and its relationship to provincial politics, particularly focusing on the oil sands, the carbon tax, and pipelines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining the NDP in power, Orange Chinook draws on diverse perspectives, including Indigenous, urban, and rural voices, to explore the transition process and government finances and politics. It delves into the governing style of Premier Rachel Notley, examining her response to the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire and the role of women in politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrange Chinook brings together a team of Alberta's top political watchers, providing a fascinating and multifaceted analysis of this historic election. The book offers valuable insights into the political landscape of Alberta and its implications for Canadian politics more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 710g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 162 x 27 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781773850252                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097320124666,"sku":"9781773850252","price":17.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/orange-chinook-politics-in-the-new-alberta","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
