Premier Alison Redford was honored with a standing ovation, by the audience, during her first speech as a leader at the Alberta Progressive Conservative convention in Calgary on Friday night. Redford promised the people that she will build a new and better Alberta, while she also taunted her opposition parties, epically the Wildrose Party, i.e. the province’s official opposition.
Redford stated to the audience that “the people of Alberta faced a clear choice between two radically different plans for the future.” She elaborated that “a choice between an Alberta that looked inward and sought to build walls, or the Progressive Conservative vision for a confident Alberta that builds bridges to the rest of Canada and welcomes the world.” Redford bluntly asserted “and the choice was clear between a party that was firmly stuck in the past, or as Doug Horner,” (Redford’s Minister of Finance). She “likes to call them ‘the Socred retreads.'”
Redford repeated her governments’ agenda of building 140 family care health clinics all over the province, but she seemed a little unsure about balancing the budget. She straightforwardly pointed out the price of oil, and promised that “we’ll secure Alberta’s economic future with a balanced budget plan that doesn’t raise taxes.”
She did not comment on the ongoing controversy of last week, when the PC’s doubled the RRSP contributions of MLA’s from $11,000 to $22,000. This Saturday, an estimate of 1,100 delegates will be debating on whether to remove automatic delegate status for Federal Conservative MP’s or not.
