Questions

Answers to common questions about Alberta Now, our purpose,

our plans and how you can get involved.

What is Alberta Now?

Alberta Now is being formed as a new federal political party focused on representing Alberta's interests in Canada's Parliament.

Is Alberta Now a federal or provincial party?

Federal. Alberta Now is being organized to contest federal elections and endorse candidates for the House of Commons. It is separate from Alberta's provincial political parties.

Is Alberta Now registered with Elections Canada?

Alberta Now is currently in its formation and federal registration process. We will update this answer when our formal status changes.

Why does Alberta need its own federal party?

National parties must balance political interests across Canada. Alberta Now is based on the idea that Alberta should also have federal representatives whose primary mandate is to represent Alberta, without needing to win seats elsewhere in the country.

Is Alberta Now an independence party?

Alberta Now believes Albertans have the right to determine Alberta's constitutional future. We support serious democratic discussion of Alberta's options, including greater autonomy, fundamental reform of the federation and independence. Any constitutional change must be pursued peacefully, lawfully and democratically.

Does Alberta Now support an independence referendum?

Alberta Now supports Albertans' right to make major constitutional decisions democratically. The party's detailed referendum and constitutional policy will be published through the formal policy-development process.

Can Alberta legally become independent?

Canada's constitutional framework recognizes that a clear democratic expression in favour of secession would create a duty for governments to negotiate, but separation would involve complex constitutional negotiations. Alberta Now will publish detailed legal and transition policy as that work is completed.

Will Alberta Now run candidates?

Yes. Supporting and endorsing candidates for federal election is fundamental to the organization we are building.

Who can join Alberta Now?

Formal membership eligibility and membership rules will be published when the founding governance documents are adopted. In the meantime, supporters can join our public update and volunteer list.

How can I volunteer?

Use the Get Involved form and tell us how you would like to help. Opportunities will include events, outreach, administration, communications, policy research, fundraising and local organization.

Can I donate?

Not through this website yet. Alberta Now will activate political contributions only when the appropriate financial, banking and compliance systems are in place. Contribution eligibility and limits will be clearly stated when donations open.

How is Alberta Now different from the Conservative Party of Canada?

The Conservative Party is a national political party seeking seats across Canada. Alberta Now is being built specifically to represent Alberta federally. Our MPs would not need to balance Alberta's interests against the party's electoral strategy in other provinces.

How is Alberta Now different from Alberta's provincial parties?

Alberta Now is being built for federal politics. Provincial parties govern and legislate within Alberta's provincial jurisdiction. Alberta Now's focus is Canada's Parliament, federal policy and Alberta's relationship with the federal government.
