Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta
Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta is a provincial political party in Alberta, Canada, which was formed through the merger of Wexit Alberta and the Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta in 2020.
According to its constitution, Wexit Alberta's plans included abolishing the provincial branch of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the reestablishment of the Alberta Provincial Police. It also called for the adoption of a currency to replace the Canadian dollar.
The Wexit movement gained traction in October 2019, shortly after the 2019 Canadian federal election, when the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was re-elected to form government. In August 2019, Wexit Alberta held several meetings including a small summer meeting in Calgary’s beltline. A few months later another meeting in Calgary drew about 1700 attendees.
On January 11, 2020, a Wexit rally was held at the Alberta legislature grounds with the goal of collecting the 8,400 signatures required for official party status.
Wexit reserved the name "Wexit Alberta" with Elections Alberta for use by a provincial party.
On April 27, 2020, Wexit Alberta and the Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta announced plans to merge into the Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta. Members of those parties voted to approve the merger on June 29, 2020. The parties needed to finalize a unification agreement before the new party could be registered with Elections Alberta. The name was reserved with Elections Alberta. On July 23, 2020, the party was officially registered with Elections Alberta.
On July 17, 2020, the party announced that Paul Hinman would serve as its interim leader, until the party's founding convention and leadership contest. Hinman confirmed his intention to run in the first leadership contest.
The party held its founding convention on January 23, 2021 virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions. According to the party, 478 members were registered to attend and vote on policy, approve a constitution, and elected a new Board of Governors. The party announced that the leadership election would run from June 5 to August 27, concluding with a vote on August 28, 2021, but on July 20, 2021, Hinman was declared to have been elected leader of the party.
