Newsletter #7
ALBERTA PARTY: www.albertaparty.ca
One public all-candidates forum left to attend:
CANMORE, Thursday, April 11th, 5:30-7:30 – Malcolm Hotel, 321 Spring Creek Dr. One last chance to meet your candidate in action!
Banff's all-candidates forum was held Monday, April 8th with a good crowd in attendance. There were lots of questions related to tourism but also a wide selection of topics from palliative care to affordable housing. This week has also been spent meeting our Lake Louise and Banff constituents.
Vote Splitting:
We see and hear messages about vote splitting across social media. This is our response:
The Alberta Party’s membership is increasing and our new supporters are coming from the NDPs, from the UCPs, from the Liberals and the Independence Parties; they are coming from the constituents who didn’t have a home for their vote, from the young and the old and they are coming from the people who want a voice that is not represented by Big Business nor by Big Government. Yes, there is a redistribution of votes occurring but it is occurring across Party lines and across the Province.
We are a democratic Country and Province. BUT we are not a two-party system. A two-party system leads to extreme viewpoints which, in turn, leads to constant chaos, polarization, negativity and little productive work. A two-party system is limited to the options chosen by the two parties.
This Province needs good governance not a good political machine. Let’s vote for something not against something.
The Alberta Party has problem-solvers and innovators who will tackle our challenges using real-world experience and practical solutions – not ideology or dogma. We have candidates in all 87 constituencies. Visit AlbertaParty.ca and review the material on your Candidate and learn about the Alberta Party's position statements.
