(Rick Madonik/Toronto Star via Getty Images)It’s been a tumultuous few weeks in Ontario politics. The fall of Progressive Conservative Party leader Patrick Brown—who was forced to resign amid allegations of sexual misconduct—has prompted a lightening-fast leadership race to be held before the June 7 provincial election. So far, three candidates have stepped forward to replace Brown; Christine Elliott, Doug Ford and political newcomer Caroline Mulroney, daughter of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Although she lacks political experience, Mulroney has a formidable resume in her own right; she’s a lawyer and businesswoman who graduated from Harvard and New York University’s law school.

The Alberta Investment Management Corporation or AIMCo says it has struck a deal with a subsidiary of Rome-based global power company Enel to buy 49 per cent ownership of the projects to be constructed near Pincher Creek in southern Alberta.
In a separate news release, Enel says the two projects are expected to cost about $213 million, adding the price of AIMCo’s stake will be determined at the start of commercial operation before the end of 2019.
Enel was one of three companies chosen in December by the Alberta government through an auction process. They are to build four wind power projects with capacity of almost 600 megawatts of electricity at a total cost of about $1 billion.
The other winning bids came from Edmonton-based Capital Power Corp…
