[3] Anglin toured dozens of Albertan communities between 2009 and 2012, speaking out against the Electric Statutes Amendment Act (Bill 50), which granted cabinet power to approve major power lines as critical infrastructure without a public hearing and needs assessment by the Alberta Utilities Commission.
[4][5][6] In response to public criticism of the Act, the government revoked Cabinet's ability to approve critical transmission projects without a needs assessment in the fall of 2012, but the amendment did not affect the four transmission projects that were approved by cabinet under Bill 50 prior to the amendment.
[7][8] Anglin gained wide public attention in Alberta after he exposed the Energy and Utilities Board for spying on people who opposed power lines being put through their land.
He attributed the party's failure to file required financial returns with Elections Alberta to a refusal by the previous executive to hand over necessary documentation.
[12] In 2012, Anglin became a candidate for the Wildrose Party for the riding of Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre, which he won in the 2012 general election.
