The is a federal political party that was formed in November
2006 and is based in
Calgary ,
Alberta . It is currently campaigning towards being registered as a political party with
Elections Canada . Their slogan is ''"...a better deal for Albertans."''
On their website they list the party's four main principles:
''To promote Alberta's interests,''
''To give Albertans a strong voice in Ottawa,''
''To protect Albertans' prosperity, and''
''To ensure Alberta's opportunities for future generations.''
Although they may sound like a
Alberta Separatist party, it is stated on their website they operate under a philosophy of ''"separation if necessary, but not necessarily separation."''
They also state that their party contains people from across the political spectrum but hold, as part of their principles things like smaller government, small bureaucracy and tax relief, that would place them towards the
Right Of Center on the
Political Spectrum .
A Party of Alberta organizer has been quoted in the media on issues such as
Senate Reform , the proposed changes to
Income Trust taxation and the recognition of the Quebecois as a 'nation.' He stated that the position of the
Conservatives on each issue shows a growing distance between the interests of Albertans and that party. The Conservatives currently has all 28 of Alberta's seats.
