Alberta Liberals Ready to Hold Tories Accountable

Speaking in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta Liberal Leader Kevin Taft thanked supporters across Alberta this evening after the election poll results showed that his party will continue to stand up for Albertans as the Official Opposition.

“We fought the best campaign we could fight, and achieved more than we see in these results,” said Taft. “We won’t know the true value of the work we’ve done for years, but it is real.”

“The Alberta Liberals will continue to fight. We’ll stand proud in the legislature, ready to hold this government to account. There will be no free ride.”

Taft congratulated the other leaders and thanked all the candidates and volunteers that supported them throughout the election campaign.

“I also thank the voters who came out on election day, in the belief that a single vote can make a difference,” said Taft. “I especially thank the voters of Edmonton-Riverview for electing me to a third term. It’s an honour to represent you.”

“We have made commitments to Albertans—on health care, on the environment, on education, on the economy—and I intend to push for each of them, with all my might.”

“Fortunately, I won’t be working alone. I’ve got a great team with me, and we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work come tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you Alberta for your support – I look forward to standing up for the best interests and the priorities of Albertans as we move forward into the next Alberta.”

“We are the party that will bring vision and balance to Alberta’s future, and that’s worth fighting for,” said Taft.
