Toews says the COVID-19 pandemic caused feelings of lingering grief and frustration, and that healing is needed within the province’s conservative movement

Alberta’s former finance minister officially launched his campaign to succeed Premier Jason Kenney as leader of the United Conservative Party on Saturday by stressing the need for unity and warning against the dangers of division.

He has blamed his demise on a faction of extremists unhappy with his decisions to bring in restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted that since coming to power in 2019, the UCP has set Alberta on a path for sustainable economic growth and has posted the first balanced budget in a decade. Energy Minister Sonya Savage, who introduced Toews at the campaign launch, echoed the call for the party’s next leader to bring unity in order to be re-elected in the next general election on May 29, 2023.
