Premier Danielle Smith spoke to her party delegates Saturday, where she promised to keep parents in control of their child’s education
Delegate Scott Payne, of Medicine Hat, Alta., arrives at the United Conservative Party annual general meeting in Calgary, Friday, Nov. 3, 2023.Premier Danielle Smith, in a speech to her party delegates, promised to fight the feds and build Alberta, but got the loudest applause when she promised to keep parents in control of their child’s education.
“And regardless of how often the extreme left undermines the role of parents, I want you to know that parental rights and choice in your child’s education is and will continue to be a fundamental core principle of this party and this government and we will never apologize for it.”Such resolutions, if passed, are not binding on the government, but do reflect grassroots input on where they want public policy to go.
Parental rights are a bedrock belief in the Take Back Alberta movement, a coalition of UCP members that has gained influence within the party and its governing board, exercising clout by showing up in large numbers to speak and vote. Smith, in her speech at the BMO Centre, also touched on familiar topics and promised anew to fight federal rules to limit Alberta’s energy and electricity industries.
