Fact checking
Global News’ fact-checking team will take a closer look at claims made by either political parties or special interest groups to determine how accurate those claims are and to give Albertans more context around the issues.
The Alberta Election Fact Check online posts will examine claims made from all political parties and special interest groups and find out how true they are and provide context around these issues for Albertans.
The team’s goal is to serve as a non-partisan reality check on what political candidates are asserting in the weeks before the election and to give voters a broader perspective and boost their understanding of the issues.
