A group asserting it’s fed up with how municipal government has been operating is hoping to shake things up during the next municipal election.

Alberta United says it has been formed in conjunction with the United Conservative Party (UCP) and other conservative groups, in hopes of having their voices heard.

“I love Alberta, and we need to put it back where it was,” group co-chair Todd Simmer told CityNews.

In a statement to CityNews, executive director of the UCP says Alberta United was not formed in conjunction with the party.

“I can confirm as I am the Executive Director of the United Conservative Party that this group has not been formed in conjunction with the UCP,” Dustin van Vugt said. “There is no connection between our Party and this group.
