Brooks-Medicine Hat candidate says Alberta Independence Party receiving growing support since parties revival
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Polls have shown that the 2019 provincial election could largely be a two horse race between Jason Kenney and the UCP, along with Rachel Notley and the NDP.
But one local candidate of the Alberta Independence Party (AIP), believes there’s been growing support for they AIP since it was revived in time for the election.
“A lot of the people I talk to have been willing to listen. I’m hearing a lot of things about people wanting change this time and they’re looking towards different idea’s and different parties for that change,” said Collin Pacholek, AIP candidate for Brooks-Medicine Hat.
The parties main goal is to hold a referendum to separate Alberta from the rest of Canada if elected. Pacholek says that some people he’s talked to get scared by the word “separation.”
