A third\u002Dparty ad group is setting its sights on controlling the UCP board following the election of Danielle Smith as UCP party leader.
Take Back Alberta held a zoom meeting Saturday morning to outline its next moves. The group congratulated itself for helping get Smith elected. She was categorized by people on the call as one of two “freedom candidates” running for the leadership.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
He explained that while the premier is like the CEO of a company, the board’s job is to keep the premier in line. Another speaker on the call said the board would act as the premier’s boss. “They might be able to have power and influence over the AGM, how the policy debates occur amongst UCP members, rules around nomination races and things like that,” said Bratt. “But not over how legislation is crafted, how cabinet selection is made, how orders in council are made or anything along those lines.”
Speaking to Postmedia by phone, Parker said Take Back Alberta is currently registered as a third-party advertiser with Elections Alberta and is also a registered not-for-profit society.
