EDMONTON β€” Former Alberta political leaders Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley are spearheading a campaign to advocate for Alberta's continued membership in Canada. This initiative comes in response to rising discussions and concerns regarding Alberta's separation from the country. The campaign is being co-chaired by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, emphasizing a unified approach to economic and political stability.

Both Kenney and Notley have a history of opposing political views, with Kenney having served as the leader of the United Conservative Party, while Notley led the Alberta New Democratic Party. Despite their past rivalries, the two are collaborating on this important issue, highlighting a shared interest in the province's growth and prosperity within the Canadian framework.

The campaign aims to engage various stakeholders and the public to foster discussions and support for Alberta's place within the nation, as the conversations about separation grow in certain circles. By leveraging their experience and political capital, Kenney and Notley hope to mitigate any movements toward separation and reinforce Alberta's role in Canada's economic fabric.
