Battle River-Crowfoot candidate to help lead new Libertarian Party of Canada

A former candidate in the federal riding of Battle River-Crowfoot has more to say on his political journey.

Michael Harris ran for the Libertarian Party of Canada in the by-election last year — the same one that saw 200+ names on the ballot to take on CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre who’d lost his seat in Ottawa.

A much younger candidate, Harris shared this week not only that he will run for the party again, but that he’s been elected as its deputy leader.

“Harris is bringing forward a message focused on liberty, family, and independence, with a strong emphasis on western Canada and Alberta’s right to have its future decided democratically. As deputy leader, Harris plans to help bring the question of Alberta independence into the federal political conversation and ensure that voters who support independence, decentralization, and greater provincial freedom have a political home,” he says in a release.
