The Freedom Conservative Party of Alberta (French: Parti de la liberté conservatrice de l'Alberta) was an Albertan autonomist, libertarian and conservative political party in Alberta, Canada.[2][3]
The party was named the Alberta First Party (French: Alberta d'abord) from 1999 to 2004, when it changed its name to the Separation Party of Alberta (French: Parti de la Séparation de l'Alberta). In 2013, it reverted to Alberta First.[4] In April 2018, it became the Western Freedom Party of Alberta (French: Parti de la liberté de l'Ouest de l'Alberta).[5] On June 22, 2018, it was announced that the Western Freedom Party had changed to its present name.[2]
On April 27, 2020, the party announced plans to merge with Wexit Alberta and for a new party called the Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta.[6][7] Members of both parties voted to approve the merger on June 29, 2020.[8][9] In July 2020, Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta was officially registered with Elections Alberta, giving effect to the merger.[10][11]
