Jason Kenney sets unite-the-right plan in motion after Alberta PC leadership win
CALGARY — Alberta Progressive Conservative Leader Jason Kenney says the wheels are in motion on his unite-the-right plan, with the goal of a new party and an elected leader in place a year from now.
“This is not written in stone (but) if there’s any way that we can accelerate that timeline, I’m all ears,” Kenney told reporters Sunday after he met with the Progressive Conservative board of directors.
“I want us to go as quickly as we can … but not jeopardize the unity project by speeding this up unnecessarily.”
On Saturday he won 75 per cent of the vote in a delegated convention to become the new party leader on a platform to dissolve the PCs and merge with the fellow right-centre Wildrose party.
