Former Harper cabinet minister
Jim Prentice is seriously considering a run for the leadership of
Alberta’s beleaguered Progressive
Conservative Party.
Sources close to Mr. Prentice,
who left federal politics in 2010
for one of Canada’s Big Five
banks, say he is actively preparing
the ground for a campaign in the
event he should decide to throw
his hat into the ring.
A number of high-ranking PC
party members and Calgary business leaders are actively pushing
Mr. Prentice to run in the party’s
leadership contest, forced by Alison Redford’s resignation last
month. They believe he can not
only win the leadership vote,
scheduled for September, but also
has the best chance of getting the
long-governing party out of the
political doldrums before the
next provincial election in 2016.
