Freedom Conservative Party formed in Alberta

Freedom Conservatives choose Malcolm Stinson for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville - FortSaskOnline.com - Zach Mueller:

March 22, 2019 - "Malcolm Stinson was recently selected as the Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta candidate in Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville. A member on the board of directors for the Libertarian Party of Canada, Stinson developed political connections that ultimately led to him helping form the Freedom Conservative Party in Alberta last year.

"The party is primarily made up of Wild Rose [Party] backers who weren't happy with the way the United Conservative Party merger took place in 2017, along with Libertarians and Alberta Patriots, according to Stinson....

"The Edmonton businessman currently serves on the board of directors for the Freedom Conservative Party. As such, he had a hand in creating the party's constitution and its policies.

"'We really want to get back to a small government, where the individual and the taxpayers are respected and they're not being dictated to by the leaders,' he explained, noting they will not be using a caucus whip. 'The biggest thing about not having a whip is all the caucus members will be free to vote the way they think is best for themselves and their constituents instead of what's best for the leader.'

"If elected as MLA, Stinson noted he plans to do away with red tape.... 'It really puts the brakes on the economy when red tape and [bureaucracy] has gone far beyond what it needs to — where it's not about protecting Albertans, it's about protecting someone's turf.'

"The 2019 Alberta provincial election will be held on Apr.16."
