BREAKING: Alberta NDP Premier Rachel Notley calls election for April 16 abpoli
Notley asked cheering supporters standing behind her in Calgary this morning if they are ready to fight for an Alberta that benefits everyone.
A new session of the legislature began Monday with a throne speech that focused on the NDP government's accomplishments in the last four years -- from building schools, roads and hospitals to providing more supports for seniors, students and those in need. It also criticized the former Progressive Conservative government, and said the New Democrats have been working to overcome the failures of the past.
The spring election will be the first for the United Conservative Party and its leader Jason Kenney, a federal cabinet minister under former prime minister Stephen Harper. The United Conservatives were Kenney's answer to unite the right, and were born out of a merger of the Alberta Tories and what was the Opposition Wildrose Party.
