UCP AGM w/ Rob Anders

In the next episode, we feature Rob Anders, who brings an in-depth analysis of the United Conservative Party's (UCP) Annual General Meeting (AGM). This AGM, held under the leadership of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, saw a surge in attendance with over 3,500 delegates, marking a significant increase from previous years. Anders will delve into the high-stakes environment of the event, where party unity was a focal point amidst a backdrop of much-needed resolutions and a power struggle within the conservative spectrum.

Key topics discussed include a range of policy resolutions, such as banning race-based admissions in post-secondary institutions, parental consent for students under 16 changing their name or pronouns at school, and the prohibition of '15-minute cities.' These resolutions, reflecting the party's grassroots sentiments, are non-binding but influential in shaping the party's direction.

Anders will also analyze the efforts of the group 'Take Back Alberta,' known for its push for board control and influence over policy directions, particularly concerning parental rights and social issues. The episode promises to offer insights into the dynamics of conservative politics in Alberta, the internal struggles within the UCP, and the potential implications for the party's future and its representation of Albertan interests.
