Four Alberta UCP candidates say the sovereignty bill proposed by Danielle Smith is a ‘dangerous exploitation of latent anti-Ottawa anger’
More than half the candidates in the race to replace Premier Jason Kenney are raising the alarm over a rival’s plan to proclaim Alberta would reject federal laws and court decisions deemed against the province’s interests.
“The consequence will be will have a caucus that will be standing up against the leader,” candidate Leela Aheer told reporters Thursday in Calgary.“We could very, very easily end up in another leadership race again,” she added. “After the fantasy is over, and we’ve had our bedtime story – our fairy tale – then what? Because you’re going to wake up in the morning and it’s still going to be the same, except you’re going to be a lot angrier.”
“I will respect their decision when it is made. I would expect my future caucus colleagues to do the same.” In a statement, Schulz reiterated she is against the sovereignty act. She said if it’s introduced, Smith’s signature bill would be rejected by the UCP caucus, resulting in yet another party leadership race.
