Premier Jason Kenney’s cabinet now has 26 members, including 20 full ministers, five associates and the premier himself.
Seventeen are from Calgary ridings.
This is the most geographically lopsided cabinet ever.
Calgary is clearly the power centre not just in numbers, but in influence.
MLAs from the city hold most key ministries, including Health, Energy, Municipal Affairs, Infrastructure, Transportation, Jobs and Innovation, Social Services, Seniors and Advanced Education.
And there’s the premier himself, who represents Calgary-Lougheed.
That riding is named for former premier Peter Lougheed. He would never have allowed this concentration of power. Lougheed was always sensitive to regional balance one reason the Progressive Conservative regime lasted for 43 years.
