Yes, somewhat like Alberta but Saskatchewan is more rural and the NDP has deeper roots/more of a history there.

Camrose Casino owner ordered into receivership
The court decision could have implications for the casino's recently approved application to relocate its operations to Edmonton's south.

I am not happy to learn of any business failure, but I do hope this may put a stop to the current bad idea of moving the casino to Edmonton.Camrose Casino owner ordered into receivership
The court decision could have implications for the casino's recently approved application to relocate its operations to Edmonton's south.
Casino funds should benefit the community they are in period. I also wonder if there was political pressure on AGLC to make a bad decision in this case.

I think it might be an administrative failure. The article specifies a range of documents that Mayfield failed to produce, and that they haven't been repaying a 2.5M loan since COVID.
I wonder if the person handling the loan quit, and no one picked up the responsibility.

Speaking of Failed casino. One that I am surprised is still open is St Alberts. In fact it looks to be adding and renovating.

Not too surprising. Population wise, isn't St Albert 5 or 6 times as large as Camrose?

Jesus Christ. "For now, Finance Minister Nate Horner has been appointed the sole director and chair for AIMCo, according to the province."
The Province just unilaterally took control of public sector pensions.

What brought this about? Did someone abscond with all the gold?

As someone who's pension is under AIMCo now I hope to God they manage it better.

"The province's statement says the move comes "after years of AIMCo consistently failing to meet its mandated benchmark returns."
The government also pointed to "significant" increases in operating costs, management fees and staffing without corresponding return on investment."
And all of Alberta's Teachers say "We told you so!"
Gronk!

Alberta government fires AIMCo board citing rising costs, poor performance | Globalnews.ca
Finance Minister Nate Horner said the reason is poor performance, with rising staffing and management fees coupled with a consistent failure to meet mandated benchmark returns.

The UCP took over the province in 2019. I'm sure they'll grasp at straws to place the blame on the NDP.
