Smaller party business
- The Progressive Tory Party of Alberta recently held a launch event in Calgary, with party leader and Airdrie-Cochrane MLA Peter Guthrie taking centre stage.
- Daveberta readers voted Guthrie as the Best Alberta Cabinet Minister and Most Effective Government Backbencher of 2025.
- Independent MLA Scott Sinclair was a close ally of Guthrie’s when they were trying to rename the Alberta Party as the Progressive Conservative Party, but he declined to join the PTP. This has led more than a few political watchers to wonder if this means Sinclair might soon be welcomed back into the UCP Caucus.
