Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has named MP Dane Lloyd as his “referendum lead” for Alberta.
Albertans will vote this October on whether to hold a future referendum on separation from Canada.
Poilievre says in an open letter Lloyd will work to listen to Albertans and address their concerns.
He says the party can’t pretend Albertans don’t have legitimate grievances, such as the cost of groceries and housing.
Poilievre says those “who have lost hope in Canada are not our enemies” and the party will win them back.
Lloyd represents the Parkland riding in Alberta and has been an MP since 2017.
