At the annual general meeting of the United Conservative Party (UCP) in Red Deer, 91.5% of party members who voted approved the leadership of Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta and leader of the UCP.
In her speech, Danielle Smith said she was truly honored by this vote of confidence
.
Our party is stronger and more united than it has ever been.
Earlier Saturday, during his speech to nearly 6,100 members of the PCUthe Prime Minister did not fail to recall the major themes that unify her base, notably opposition to Ottawa, vaccination and parental consent for questions of sex education and gender identity.
No one knows what is better for a child than his own parent
said Danielle Smith, which sparked a round of applause.
The Prime Minister, at the head of the party since 2022, does not have an easy mandate. Some groups, for example the 1905 Committee and Take Back Alberta, would like the Prime Minister to go further in terms of protecting individual rights.

However, opposition to the federal government is a front that Alberta Conservatives agree on.
Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh believe they know better how to run Alberta than Albertans themselves
launched Danielle Smith.
We are united, we will not be defeated. May Alberta forever be a strong and free province.
Supporters in the room rose to their feet during this statement, just as they did when Danielle Smith rattled off bills introduced this week to protect bodily autonomy
notably the one which aims to amend the Alberta Bill of Rights.
