The Buffalo Party of Alberta is officially registered with Elections Alberta.
The party leadership includes leader John Molberg (a past Wildrose Party donor), President Sharon Smith (who in Leduc-Beaumont as a Wildrose candidate in 2015 and a UCP nomination candidate in 2018), and Chief Financial Officer Jenny Walker (the former chairperson of the separatist Wexit Alberta group, which merged with the Freedom Conservative Party to become the Wildrose Independence Party in July 2020).
When reached for comment, the administrator of the Buffalo Party’s Facebook page responded that party organizers collected more than 13,000 signatures to achieve registered party status.
While bearing the same name as the openly separatist Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan (formerly known as Wexit Saskatchewan), the person said the party has “no legal connection with any other political organisation federal or in other provinces.”
The also denied being a separatist party:
“We are not a separatist party. For Albertans whose sole priority is separatism, there are several separatist options to choose from, however the Buffalo Party of Alberta is not it.”
“The Buffalo Party of Alberta, while sharing some similar principles such as increased Alberta autonomy and decentralised decision making, are distinctly Albertan, and will represent Albertan views. We have no legal connection with any other political organisation federal or in other provinces.”

How many candidates do u plan on running in the next election
When are you having talks about your platform.
By creating this new Conservative party you are only going to give the NDP a golden opportunity to be in power in the next election by slipping the votes between all Conservative like parties. This is what happen when Rachel accidentally got the Primer’s chair.
Just food for thought.
Do you have a representative in the Joussard, Alberta area? (North central, situated between Slave Lake and High Prairie.)
