Wildrose, addressing Jason Kenney rumours, says it already has a leader
EDMONTON – Calgary MP Jason Kenney’s rumoured plan to come home to unite Alberta’s two right-leaning provincial parties is shaping up to be a bumpy ride.
After the Progressive Conservatives made it clear Tuesday they are looking for a leader but aren’t keen to merge, the Wildrose caucus announced Wednesday it’s happy to link up — but only under its banner and with its leader, Brian Jean, calling the shots.
“We welcome anyone willing to get involved with Brian Jean’s efforts to consolidate conservatives,” the Wildrose caucus said in a statement.
“(But) Wildrose under Brian Jean is already set to defeat the NDP government in 2019 and has a growing campaign war chest to do so. Brian Jean is Alberta’s most popular leader and has the growing confidence of Albertans across the province.”
The Wildrose declined to make Jean or anyone with the caucus available for an interview.
