CALGARY: Former Conservative cabinet minister Jason Kenney says he’s expecting NDP supporters will join his campaign to unite Alberta’s right-wing parties.
The Calgary MP is running for the Progressive Conservative leadership on a platform that would require talks to begin on a merger with the Wildrose party.
Kenney, who opened his office in Calgary Monday, told supporters he wants a big-tent political party which includes those who have voted for the ruling NDP.
He said there are plenty of people angry over the government’s carbon tax and many disaffected union members, including coal miners, who are looking for another party to join.
