When members of Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party meet in Red Deer in November, they will debate a suite of new policy proposals, which could include restricting abortion funding, adopting “strong mayor” legislation and forcing teachers to take a university course on the evils of Marxism.

Two weeks ago, an email went out to party members, listing dozens of potential policy proposals. Members had until Tuesday to rank their preferences, which will then be used to create the final resolutions that will be up for public debate at the convention.
