The former Alberta Premier Jim Prentice said the Progressive Conservative Party has been humbled by the message voters sent them in the recent Provincial election.
Jim Prentice told the Annual Leader’s Dinner Thursday in Calgary he made mistakes and takes full responsibility for the PC’s loss to the New Democratic Party, ending the Tories’ 44-year run in power.
He said the party were unable to convince Albertans of the merits of his budget, and he said it alienated public sector stakeholders who thought it too aggressive, and Conservative voters who thought it not aggressive enough.
Jim Prentice said the Tories must learn the public will never entrust a party that is preoccupied with its own internal matters.
They should have had only one concern the best interests of the province.
