Cooper: One month of conservative unity good news for Albertans
August 22 marks the one month anniversary of conservative unity in Alberta.
It has now been four weeks since members of our legacy parties voted overwhelmingly to create a principled, compassionate and united party, restoring the conservative coalition in our province for a new generation.
With broad public support, one thing is clear: We are not looking back. We are looking forward.
The real work of building basic party infrastructure is well underway. Constructing a brand new party from scratch and preparing it to compete in a matter of just three months is a challenge unique in Alberta’s political history. Thankfully, we have the expertise, the institutional knowledge and the desire to get the job done. Our leadership campaign has begun, and includes some excellent candidates. In addition, over the next few months we will adopt a constitutional framework, consider policies and focus on other aspects of basic party infrastructure. This is important work which will define our success for years to come.
