Alberta Next panel set for event in Fort McMurray

It has pitched six policy ideas, including pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan and creating a provincial police force to replace the RCMP.
Another issue up for discussion is the idea of withholding social services from some immigrants.
The panel has received enthusiastic support, but also has faced fierce criticism and drawn protesters at three previous events in Red Deer and Edmonton.
Byelection today in western Manitoba
Voters are going to the polls today in a provincial byelection in western Manitoba.
The Spruce Woods riding is largely rural and has voted strongly for the Progressive Conservatives since it was formed in 2011.
The Tories, who are now in Opposition, have never received less than 60 per cent of the vote, but the governing New Democrats are riding high in provincewide opinion polls and have made a series of promises and announcements in the area.
The seat has been vacant since March, when Grant Jackson resigned to run for the federal Conservatives in the April general election.
The outcome of the vote won鈥檛 affect the NDP鈥檚 majority in the legislature, where the party has 34 of the 57 seats to the Tories' 20. There is one Liberal and one Independent.
Woman being sued over 'pretendians' allegations
A First Nations woman is being sued for calling four women "pretendians," with the plaintiffs seeking more than $500,000 in damages and retractions to the heavily publicized comments made about them.
Michelle Christine Cameron, also known as Crystal Semaganis, who heads the Ghost Warrior Society, says she conducts research to safeguard community spaces designated for Indigenous Peoples and says those pretending to be Indigenous pose a real harm to communities and nations.
In the lawsuit filed in July to the Supreme Court of Yukon, Amanda Buffalo, Krista Reid, Amaris Manderschied and their mother Louise Darroch, say Semaganis conducted research into their backgrounds and concluded they are of Ukrainian heritage, not Indigenous, and then engaged in a 鈥渞elentless鈥 social media campaign against them.
Court documents say she is accused of calling them "'grifters,' liars and racists who exploit their falsely claimed Indigenous heritage for personal gain."
Three of the four plaintiffs hold positions working with or for Indigenous communities.
