On May 29, the Canadian province of Alberta held a provincial election. Here is the wikipedia page. The United Conservative Party won 60 seats; the New Democratic Party won 23 seats; two independents were elected; two seats are still vacant.
In the last election, in 2019, the two major parties of Alberta won all the seats.
The page will eventually be updated to include the share of the popular vote for each party that contested the election. The party that had the third most nominees was the Green Party, with 41 candidates out of the 87 seats.

87 GERRYMANDER DISTS –
MORE RIGGED ROT CARRIED OVER FROM OLDE ENGLAND
You’ve got the results backwards. The two independents had been expelled from their caucuses. The NDP closed the gap on the Conservatives.
Yeah these numbers are from the last election the New Democrats gained seats. Also does the liberal party not contest this province ?
To Will, federal political parties and provincial political parties in Canada are kind of divorced from one another.
There is an Alberta Liberal Party. They’ve effectively died this past term.
NDP are essentially communists.
The major Canadian parties are all communist. There are non communist parties in Canada, but they are minor parties.
Some people claim that Canada has a multi party system, but that isn’t so on the provincial level. Because of plurality voting in single member districts, there are usually only two major parties in any given province, but which are not the same two in all provinces.
I’m not aware of anything like a MAGA movement that’s a major party in any Canadian province, although the Trucker Convoy obviously had a lot of support all over Canada. Is there something I’m forgetting as far as that goes?

LOTS OF GERRYMANDER BAND-AIDS FOR ADVANCED POLITICAL BRAIN CANCER.
Whatever that’s supposed to mean. In any case, unless anyone has an example to the contrary, the major parties in every province of Canada are all different flavors of communist. This was also the case in the United States until Donald Trump made the GOP a lot better, although there’s still much more that remains to be done on that front. It may take until the Donald Trump Jr presidency for the process to be fully completed and the GOP cemented as a truly Anticommunist, Nationalist party. Until that happens, and until Chinese communism is finally defeated, we are in grave peril of far worse than even everything the world has suffered in the last hundred years.
@Will,
The Liberals finished 7th.
With the rise of the NDP, they were squeezed.
What’s the closest any Canadian provinces have to a nationalist-conservative major party somewhere along the lines of Trump/MAGA, LePen, Meloni, Orban, etc? Assuming Roy is correct above. Are there any efforts underway to qualify one, and how are they coming along?
If not very well, is it because the Canadian ballot access laws or retention laws are difficult, or more because whoever is doing it is not very good at what they’re doing? The trucker convoy seemed well organized, so there are certainly people in Canada who are capable of it. Are the efforts to transform that into a political party or anything more permanent to end the leftist and fake conservative stranglehold on Canadian politics?
@JB,
In Alberta, candidate access is 25 signatures and a C$500 deposit (US$370).
A registered party may nominate candidates, but the candidates must still gather signatures.
There are 14 registered parties in Alberta.
Thanks, but I was more asking about why no part of Canada (as far as I know) has a nationalist-conservative party similar to what the GOP is becoming under Trump, the ruling partied in countries like Italy and Hungary, and popular major opposition parties in countries like France.
And, what is the biggest impediment to Canada having such major parties – something in their laws, or the incompetence of the organizers? After watching the inspiring Trucker Convoy, I have to believe that there is at the very least a deep unfulfilled yearning for such a truly right wing major party among millions of ordinary Canadians.
“What’s the closest any Canadian provinces have to a nationalist-conservative major party.”
Well, the Coalition Avenir Quebec tend to be center-right and are clearly nationalist, although that’s Quebec Nationalist, not Canadian.
Canadian politics is in a sense becoming more Americanized (with Alberta being the most Americanized province). The current federal Conservative Party leader Pierre Poillievre probably would not be outside of home too much in the current Republican Party but unlike Trump and MAGA actually has an intellect. Trudeau has geared hard since Poillievre won the leadership to making the Biden election pitch of Poillievre does not reflect the values of what most Canadians believe. Bear in mind Trudeau had to use culture war issues the last federal election in 2021 to throw Erin O’Toole and the Tories off their game to force O’Toole to answer questions that regardless of how he answered them would piss one of two wings in his party off. O’Toole tried to muddle through it and it did not work.
The most right-wing party in the country that has power are probably the Saskatchewan Party. Although the center-right option has power in most provinces currently, biggest exception being British Columbia.
Interesting analysis. I’ll have to look at what others say about alleged recent changes in the Conservative Party. As far as I can remember, not too long ago they made Bush seem like Orban. Your claims are made less credible by the contention that Trump and MAGA lack intellect, but bear some additional investigation nevertheless.
In most places, “center right” is a rather obvious euphemism for fake rear guard opposition to progressive Marxism with slightly more rhetorical support for international big business interests, while accepting as a given the inevitable “progress” of cultural Marxism, decades of past accrued and institutionalized welfare state parasitism, the internationalist globalist elite agenda, population replacement, and eventually mass depopulation under the guise of environmentalism.
This is arguably even worse than plain old communist dictatorship, since it lulls any opposition into a stupor under the false delusional belief their interests are being represented by an authentic “conservative” patriotic opposition or temporarily dominant government party, along with ever worsening social rot resulting from the byproducts of a cultural Marxist agenda used to weaken nations and soften them for conquest. Communists never allow cultural Marxism to get nearly so out of hand in countries they actually control.
The absolute worst thing for fighting back against communism, globalism, and every other facet of illuminati Luciferian “enlightenment” evil is for the so called center right to sit like dead weight occupying the right wing opposition space and standing in the way of the actual right from presenting real alternatives to “progressive” civilizational collapse.
Best guy to read about Canadian politics is Paul Wells. Not aware of an American journalist as sharp and intelligent in their commentary about U.S. politics as Wells is about Canadian. (Probably because if he was here and wrote the same way about U.S. politics, neither side in Washington would ever give him access.)
Wells’ most recent piece on Poillievre from a couple weeks ago: http://paulwells.substack.com/p/leavetaking-stocktaking
“The elites” in the article should be considered as one of the differences between Canadian politics and U.S. politics or at least used to be. There’s 3 main parties in Canada: Conservatives, Liberals, and the NDP. Here instead we only have two, and the business elites were Republicans even if they were based in New York. The Liberals are the traditional party that almost always run the country. They’re governed by what some center-right thinkers up there have called “the Laurentian Consensus”. The St. Lawrence River goes from Quebec City down to Toronto/Hamilton and is the center of the country politically, economically, and geographically. This created over time resentment to this Ontario/Quebec-centered point of view and what has become called “Western Alienation”. The NDP being the party of the left are as much part of this alienation as the Conservatives were, that’s why in Canada there’s a center-left party and a left party – the left party being the party of farmers and workers and miners resented the elites. The elites were all in Ontario/Quebec, which was Liberal-dominated.
What’s occurred is farmers and miners at least have become higher-class and the left globally defines itself more culturally than it does based on work situation. The NDP decided to support the Liberals in Parliament last year and I listen to a great Canadian political podcast called the Curse of Politics. The host David Herle worked for Jean Chretien, another guy on there worked for Chretien’s successor Paul Martin, and to balance it out they have a person on the conservative side which used to be Jenni Byrne, a lady of prominence that kind of ran the Conservative Party federally on a policy level and now is Poillievre’s campaign manager or equivalent, so had to resign from the podcast. It’s not really a merger but this Liberal-NDP cooperation sent some people soul-searching on what the hell was going to happen, how being for policy X while not knowing how to do it was why the guys on the show never voted for the NDP to start with. Their feedback in the next week they got blasted and Herle stated “from listening to everyone, it seems process does not matter to people, only outcomes”, which is a much politer way of saying “the ends justify the means” and is everything wrong with American politics at the moment.
Next federal election who knows. There’s definitely Trudeau fatigue and he has a list of long scandals. The Tories however seem to have a ceiling of support they can’t get past. The NDP leader Jagmeet Singh does not strike me as an outsider as a good leader, and I see Liberal strategy to be using fear to get rid of the NDP as an electoral force in the country everywhere outside their current federal heartlands of Vancouver Island/lower mainland British Columbia and the far northern districts that are heavily First Nations in terms of numbers of voters. Liberals however do not exist as much of a party west of Ontario. Be interesting to see what happens in Quebec where the Bloc Quebecois throw a monkey wrench into everything. With Quebec nationalism transitioning provincially from the more left-wing PQ to the more right-wing CAQ, the Bloc had to transform all their non-sovereignty related positions practically overnight about 5 years ago and it’s benefitted them electorally, but the parties’ vote in Quebec are always so split that small shifts can change a lot of seats.
A very quick search taking under a minute revealed that Poillievre supports, among other things, “pro choice” to legally murder babies, population replacement through open door immigration, legal sodomite “marriage,” “green energy” big government climate pseudoscience based schemes calculated to wreck the economy and pave the way for the globalist 90% depopulation satanic scheme and Luciferian illuminati new world order/ new age, sending more weapons to the Ukrainian Nazis waging war against Russia and conducting genocide and ethnic cleansing of Russians in portions of Russia added to Ukraine by Stalin as part of his divide and conquer strategy in the USSR, legalizing marijuana and whatever else he thinks are “soft drugs,” and continuing the Canadian government medical care system that sends patients sitting on long waiting lists across the US border to receive procedures that they may otherwise die waiting on.
The notion that such a political leader of a party that elected him as such is even anything like a Bush Republican, much less a Trump Republican or a Victor Orban, is obviously specious. The conclusion for the moment, unless better evidence is presented, is that Ryan relies on lying, manipulated, propaganda, fake news sources in their description of who is who and what is what up there. As best I can tell, the competing description above of the Canadian Conservative Party as something that makes George Bush look like Victor Orban is something that remains true today, or at least is certainly much more true than anything Ryan offered to the contrary thus far.
A few additional minutes of reading shows that the Saskatchewan Party is likewise far from Trump Republican or Euroskeptic Nationalist Right parties which are strong throughout most of Europe and lead several governments there or form the main opposition in a number of others.
It appears that Canada did have a somewhat but not very successful more authentically conservative party called the Reform Party and later the Canadian Alliance. However, that folded into the falsely named Conservative Party about 20 years ago. Aside from that, there are only very fringe extremist parties which don’t come close to a major party in any Canadian province.
