Derek Sloan moves west to run as an independent in Alberta: initially elected as the Hastings—Lennox and Addington (ON) CPC MP in 2019; ejected from the Conservative caucus this past January and continued to serve his riding as an independent.
Sloan intends to run in the Banff-Airdrie riding - against CPC incumbent Blake Richards, the current CPC party whip. At a packed venue in Cochrane, 500 people came out to hear Sloan officially announce his next political play - while also announcing that he has filed the necessary paperwork with Elections Canada to form a new national political party - the
True North party!
