Hope Arises in Alberta, Canada, as Pro-Lifer Chosen to Lead New Political Party"Hope is on the horizon and common sense is coming back. We are one step closer to a government based on common sense and the mainstream values of ordinary Albertans." -Jason Kenney (Canada)— [Lifesitenews.com] Alberta's new conservative party has chosen as its first leader a candidate known for his pro-life values, and for taking a stand in defense of freedom for social conservatives. (Photo: Jason Kenney/via LifeSiteNews.com) Campaign Life Coalition, Canada's largest national pro-life group, says they are "delighted" that former federal minister Jason Kenney was chosen as leader of the newly minted United Conservative Party of Alberta. "We congratulate Jason on his win. He is principled and highly qualified," says Jeff Gunnarson, vice president of CLC, Canada’s national pro-life lobbying group. Kenney captured 61.1 percent of the vote on the first ballot, which was announced Saturday at the UCP convention in Calgary. Former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean received 31.5 percent and Calgary lawyer Doug Schweitzer 7.3 percent. On Sunday, MLA for Calgary-Lougheed Dave Rodney announced that he was stepping down to allow Kenney to run in his riding. Kenney wants NDP Premier Rachel Notley to call a by-election before Christmas so he can "enter the legislature without delay as the leader of the Opposition," reported the Calgary Herald. The UCP unites Albertans who hold "mainstream" values "like personal responsibility, self-reliance, strong communities, and the family and not the government as the basic unit of society," Kenney told the cheering crowd. "Hope is on the horizon and common sense is coming back," he said. "We are one step closer to a government based on common sense and the mainstream values of ordinary Albertans, instead of the failed and divisive ideology of the NDP," added Kenney. "If we work hard, stay humble, and earn every vote, we will ensure that this deceptive, divisive, debt-quadrupling, tax-hiking, job-killing, accidental socialist government is won and done."
