On Jan. 15, he released a statement, “An Agenda to move Alberta Forward,” saying “Alberta’s future looks bleak unless bold action is taken” and “Canada is broken.”

“None of our political leaders understand the current anger of Albertans — Albertans want a ‘Mad as hell’ Party, that isn’t going to take it anymore,” he wrote.
