Calgary, Alberta - A right-leaning, pro-energy party won a landslide victory in Canada’s main oil-producing province of Alberta late on Tuesday, signaling momentum may be building against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau months ahead of a federal election in October.
“Alberta is open for business!” UCP leader Jason Kenney said in a victory speech in Calgary on Tuesday. over alleged interference in a corporate corruption case that has led to the resignations of two Cabinet members and his top advisor. Results of the vote, with the count nearly complete, showed the UCP had won 63 out of 87 seats in the provincial legislature.
