Separatist advocate Jeffrey Rath’s UCP party membership revoked for ‘breach of code of conduct’: premier
Smith said the party supports the referendum result and that members who keep campaigning for separation should leave the UCP.
- On Friday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced that the United Conservative Party has revoked Jeff Rath's membership over code of conduct issues, a decision she supports.
- Rath, a Calgary-based lawyer and co-founder of the Alberta Prosperity Project, has been a harsh critic of the premier. He campaigned for Smith's resignation and sought to force a leadership vote at the party's general meeting.
- Following a referendum held last week where a majority of Alberta voters chose to stay in Canada, Smith emphasized the United Conservatives must respect this outcome and align with the province's decision to remain in Confederation.
- Regarding the revocation, the party's executive director made the final decision addressing code of conduct issues and Rath's persistent efforts to force a vote on Smith's leadership at the general meeting.
- Smith warned that party members continuing to stump for separation must find a new political home, clarifying the United Conservatives' stance against separatist agitation within party ranks.
