Alberta Party aiming to be government in 2019
RED DEER – Hundreds of members of the Alberta Party gathered at the Radisson Hotel on 67 Street in Red Deer on Saturday for the party’s Annual General Meeting and Constitutional Convention.
The event featured guest speakers Karen McPherson, MLA for Calgary-MacKay-Nose Hill and outgoing party leader, Greg Clark, MLA for Calgary-Elbow. Throughout the day, members also heard from the party president and were able to vote on nominees to the Provincial Board.
Leader Greg Clark said he was excited to see the large number of first-time people that came out to the event. “The Alberta Party I think represents the future of Alberta politics. We reject polarized politics just like Albertans do” explained Clark. “Albertans are not far right and we are not far left, Albertans want to look out for our neighbours and we want fiscal discipline.”
Clark describes the Alberta Party as a centrist party. “We believe in good fiscal discipline. The NDP have let Albertans down with their total lack of fiscal discipline” contends Clark. “The UCP is too far right, especially on social issues, they have no plan beyond devastating cuts.”
