Alberta Party Leader Barry Morishita addressed the membership and highlighted a series of goals for the party for the next few months and his vision for the future.

“A consistent lack of informed leadership has led to poor decisions, lack of action, and ideologically driven agendas,” said Morishita, in a press release. “We are living in the aftermath of the consequences. We all know, all too well, the devastating effects on our families, our friends and our communities. And in the case of the pandemic, the unnecessary loss of life, loss of livelihoods and a loss of hope.”

“When I chose to seek the Leadership of the Alberta Party,” he continued. “I came committed to focus on the people, the planet and the prosperity of Albertans. When I became leader of our Party on September the first, I made a commitment to you, as Party members, that I would listen and our direction would be set together.”

“Our promise, as the Alberta Party, has always been to understand and act on behalf of all Albertans,” added Morishita. “If we take the time to understand and be informed, together we will find practical, meaningful solutions. This is what defines us– bringing together willing Albertans that have diverse opinions and new ideas that will bring hope to us again.”
