  MLAUCPSupports remaining in Canada

  At a June 5, 2026 UCP leader's dinner in Calgary, asked supporters to vote to remain in Canada and also vote yes on the other nine referendum questions. On June 17, after Treaty Chiefs asked the RCMP to investigate whether the referendum process amounts to treason, called the accusation disgraceful and said such language has no place in democratic debate.

  I think it's disgraceful. I think it's disgraceful that any government that wants to be taken seriously would level charges that serious against another government... that language has no place in this democratic discussion.
