Chris Warkentin, Member of Parliament for Grande Prairie-Mackenzie, is pleased about the selection of Erin O’Toole as the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and believes it should cause Peace Country residents to be optimistic.  

“Erin O’Toole understands why Westerners are feeling alienated in Canada,” Warkentin said.  

“I strongly believe that Erin O’Toole is a unifying force in Canadian politics and cares about the future of Alberta in our confederation. I trust that all Canadians will see that his leadership brings a renewed focus on providing solutions to the struggles and concerns of all Canadians, including those in the Peace Country and Alberta.”
