While we are fighting to save Canada, where is the UCP just 11 days out from this referendum? Five of their ministers recently left Canada, spending taxpayer dollars.

Five of their ministers are on taxpayer-funded trips around the globe. I guess, though, if you are a separatist party, you wouldn’t care about saving Canada.

After being sworn in as MLA for Calgary-Shaw, I signed the pledge to defend Canada. As a proud fourth-generation Canadian, I firmly oppose separatism. My ancestors fought for freedom and Canada in WWII; we carry that legacy on. Albertans deserve to know where their MLA stands.

The majority of the UCP are separatists. Danielle Smith runs a separatist party. Separatists helped her get elected, and she’s giving them what they want to try to save herself. A proud Canadian would fight for their country, not fight for separatists.
