The policy debates and ‘bear pit’ session — in which Kenney’s cabinet fielded questions from party members — seemed to demonstrate the party, barely two years old but already in power…

CALGARY — While the federal Conservative party fights among itself over the future of Andrew Scheer’s leadership, the United Conservative Party — still riding a high from a resounding victory in the Alberta election — gathered for its second annual convention, balancing a carnival air with sombre policy debate.

They failed at one point in the evening, as a group made it inside and chanted while delegates looked on. Ric McIver, the transportation minister, tweeted “we welcomed some surprise carolers.” On Saturday night the stage was given to Kenney, the man who returned to Alberta specifically to create a united right out of two warring conservative parties, and then led that party to a landslide election win earlier this year.

“We will get through this time of adversity. We have each other,” said Kenney. “And we have the vision and sacrifices of those who went before us.” “My job as minister of health is to make sure Albertans have access to health-care services,” responded cabinet minister Tyler Shandro. “That includes health-care services that have been determined in this country to be legal for decades.”
