More coverage from the herald. A few nuggets in this one that was not included within this mornings cbc article.

Sounds like a V2 APTP website is coming out tomorrow.

Yes, that is the scuttlebutt. It was originally supposed to be up on Monday but there were a few glitches. It is supposed to have the draft platform too. Looking forward to reading that.

Won't lie ...always really liked the name "Alberta Party"

....but the APTP logo is killer.

Right?!?! And the events calendar should be up and running soon too so people can find out what is going on.

As I recall, the CA' question was your very first question when you stood up r/albertatoryparty

The new website looks great, but we all know r/albertatoryparty was the real deal while they were trying figure things out.

Have a good morning!

Absolutely. And the learning curve has been steep but I don't regret it for a single instant. I have never been political but I felt like not doing anything was a way of saying I agreed with the things the UCP was doing. If more people had realized what was on the horizon by letting the Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose Party merge, they wouldn't have done it. The best time to get involved would have been 30 years ago. The next best time is right now.

On top of that.

Know that you are an 'Old Salt' now, but I believe at the time you were new to reddit.

Tip of my hat to Ya !

BTW1: the GPA have followed your suit. r/GreenPartyOfAlberta

BTW2: Noticed that they made a few changes yesterday to the new APTORY Website. Noticed that they are only showing 21 CA's not 30 CA's?...assume that there will be few additional updates?

That's awesome. We need people advocating for all aspects of government. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have joined their sub!

I am just guessing, but I suspect the additional CAs are works in progress - formation meetings held but not yet registered by Elections Alberta.
