This week in Alberta politics was an eyeopener; for all the wrong reasons. The topic of “differing viewpoints” began earlier this week when LGBTory Alberta director Harrison Fleming defended the United Conservative Party’s willingness to make room in their party for those who believe LGBT+ humans will be […]
“UCP Pride”. It’s kind of like LGBTQ2 Pride except for Conservatives who don’t want to actually attend Pride. The safe space for Calgary area Conservatives will likely be set up a few blocks away from Pride festivities, similar to the event held during Pride in Edmonton in June. And […]
In 2015 Alberta voters rejected the PC Party under the late Premier Jim Prentice.
