Alberta Party represents alternative to UCP and NDP, leader tells SACPA Poll Yes Acting Alberta Party leader Jacquie Fenske spoke at the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs weekly YouTube livestream speaker series on Thursday to explain why the Alberta Party represented a strong alternative to both the UCP and the NDP. To illustrate this point, Fenske spoke of a personal meeting she had with now Premier Jason Kenney when he was running for the leadership of the then Progressive Conservative Party. Fenske was a PC MLA at the time. “He droned on about the importance of eliminating the deficit and paying down the debt,” she recalled. “Now, I agree these are laudable goals, but his enthusiasm for fiscal discipline ignored or avoided the effects it would have on Albertans.”
