Western Standard - Can Alberta Conservatives Unite Before the Election？

00:00:00.000 Okay. Certainly, you know, as an older man, I remember a time when the consensus was that freedom mattered,

00:00:05.840 and I don't see that consensus so popularly reflected in the politics of today.

00:00:12.740 A lot of people are prepared to give the government more than it deserves.

00:00:15.520 I'm going to give you the last word, though, Erica.

00:00:17.560 One thing Alberta Conservatives all agree upon is that they don't want an NDP government,

00:00:22.720 yet if they don't get it together, that's what they're going to get.

00:00:25.120 what's the matter with Alberta conservatives and how can the premier get those people

00:00:31.520 back on her side who are presently condemning her from both from all directions yeah I think

00:00:38.660 yeah I would say focus on what unites us and brings us together I mean a prime example is

00:00:44.980 look what happened in BC less than a month ago we saw fracture more than what I think we see here

00:00:52.280 on the conservative movement. I mean, there wasn't even really a movement. It was just like a spray

00:00:56.580 and pray of people that identify as conservatives. And they got together and they all came in line

00:01:03.320 behind the BC Conservative Party. And now they are government. They were going up against an

00:01:09.580 individual who called an election. So usually you're in an advantageous position if you're

00:01:14.860 going to do that in Premier Evie. And they were able to unite the right, stand up for what they

00:01:22.680 believe in as core values. So it's not going to be everything for everyone. And people need to

00:01:27.820 accept that. The option two was defeated significantly by a majority. And I think we

00:01:36.780 need to move on from that. And that we really need to focus on if we're not together, we're

00:01:42.780 splitting a vote and this is what we get. We're not, you know, do we really want an NDP government

00:01:49.180 to base on the one or two issues that are sticking for us within our own movement? I think that we

00:01:55.680 need to move past that and come together. Erica Baroutes, thank you for being with us this
