Edmonton, Alberta, November 5, 2001: Alberta's pork producers will select a new slate of representatives to Alberta Pork, the umbrella organization of Alberta's 2,000 pork producers, during annual district meetings across the province, November 12 to 27.
"The election is the first since producers voted earlier this year to separate Alberta Pork and the Western Hog Exchange, so that Alberta Pork could focus on industry services and the Exchange could focus on its hog marketing role," says Fred Olthuis, a Neerlandia-area producer and Chair of Alberta Pork.
Alberta Pork serves producers through its activities in product promotion, research support, quality assurance, environmental issues, land use, animal care, trade access and producer economic concerns.

Thus, Alberta can be said to have continuously had a dominant-party system for its entire political history though the dominant party has changed over time.

 Money doesn't buy love - and perhaps not most elections Humanist - Find Articles
In reviewing open seat elections without incumbents--perhaps the best measure of money's impact--the center found a far stronger correlation between the party of the winning candidate and how that district voted in the presidential race than relative campaign spending.
Given this voter consistency and the fact that most districts are not level playing fields, most elections are decided during the decennial redistricting (or "incumbent protection") process--that is, when Democrats and Republicans blatantly carve up the political map to protect incumbents, creating noncompetitive districts "safe" from changing parties.
Most well-established democracies long ago switched to multiseat proportional representation systems, which generally result in multiparty democracy where the voters have more choice and higher voter turnouts, and where diverse political perspectives have a greater chance of winning representation regardless of how much money they spend.
