About

The United Conservative Party of Alberta was formed on July 22, 2017, after members of the Progressive Conservative and Wildrose parties voted overwhelmingly to unite. Albertans elected the UCP to government on April 16, 2019, and re-elected the party on May 29, 2023, with a mandate to stand up for Alberta and make the province as strong and free as it can be.

Statement of Principles

As a party, we stand united on the following principles that guide our vision for a stronger Alberta:

A robust civil society made up of free individuals, strong families, and voluntary associations.
Freedom of speech, worship and assembly, without government or corporate censorship of mainstream or social media.
Affirm the family as the building block of society and the means by which citizens pass on their values and beliefs and ensure that families are protected from intrusion by government.
Economic freedom in a market economy which encourages the creation of wealth through free enterprise, and protection of the right to own, enjoy and exchange property.

Limited government, including low levels of taxation to help generate economic growth while allowing Albertans to enjoy the fruits of their own labour.
Fiscal responsibility, including balanced budgets, debt reduction, and respect for taxpayers' money.
Protecting public safety as a primary responsibility of government.
Control spending and dramatically reduce the size of government and encourage municipal governments to do the same.
Protect and defend the ownership rights of Alberta to utilize its natural resources for the benefit of Albertans.
