Dane Lloyd to Lead Conservative Pro-Unity Campaign in Alberta

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has appointed Parkland MP Dane Lloyd to lead the party's campaign to convince Albertans to vote to stay in Canada in the upcoming referendum. Lloyd — Alberta caucus chair and the party's national security adviser — will work with Poilievre and the Conservative Alberta caucus to listen to Albertans and make the case for a united Canada.

In a letter to Lloyd obtained by the National Post, Poilievre wrote that the task is "not to scold Albertans" but to hear their legitimate concerns while showing that a better deal is possible within Confederation — with more pipelines, lower taxes, safer streets, and stronger borders.
