Wildrose party

The political story of Danielle Smith is one of triumph then defeat, followed by betrayal, banishment and, now, redemption.

Danielle Smith delivered a dramatic political comeback on Thursday, October 6, 2022, winning the leadership of the United Conservative Party to become Alberta’s next premier almost eight years after she decimated the movement with an epic floor crossing.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner says she will not run in the race to replace Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, characterizing his United Conservative caucus and party as rife with anger, intrigue and implacable division.

After leading the Wildrose Party to defeat in a 2012 Alberta election and betraying her own caucus by crossing the floor to the governing Progressive Conservatives in 2014, Danielle Smith is taking one last kick at the can with her bid to become leader of the United Conservative Party.

The race for a new United Conservative Party leader is gearing up after Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced he's stepping down.

Premier Jason Kenney threw Alberta politics into a tailspin on Wednesday when he narrowly won a United Conservative Party leadership review vote only to announce he was quitting the top job anyway.

Jason Kenney’s arch-foe in caucus took his fight with the Alberta premier to the floor of the legislature on Thursday, May 5, 2022, and received in return a backhanded verbal slap from a cabinet minister.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is acknowledging tensions within his United Conservative party, while the UCP president is pleading with members to remain united under the camp's banner.

Alberta's two main political leaders used the only election debate to drill in on trust, with Jason Kenney saying Rachel Notley can't run the economy and Notley saying Kenney's moral compass needs a major readjustment.

Alberta Opposition Leader Jason Kenney finally gets his title shot.

The staffer at the centre of a spreading scandal over Alberta's United Conservative leadership race says party leader Jason Kenney's team did not direct and prop up a bogus candidate to attack Kenney's main rival.

More than a year after resigning his seat in Parliament, Jason Kenney is hoping to take up a new one next week in the Alberta legislature.

The four men vying for the leadership of Alberta's new UCP focused their attacks on Alberta's NDP government and Justin Trudeau rather than each other during the first official debate on Wednesday.

Caucus members from Alberta's two conservative parties got together for the first time on Monday, July 24, 2017, but one Progressive Conservative bowed out before the joint meeting even took place.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the NDP would welcome anyone who feels like they wouldn't have a political home in the United Conservative Party.
