Alberta Greens no longer a political party

Posted by Jeremy Klaszus in Klaszus Corner

After months of internal struggle and infighting, the Green Party of Alberta has been de-registered. For now, anyway.

The following message is posted on the party website:

The “Alberta Greens” Green Party of Alberta has been de-registered by Elections Alberta as a political entity in the Province of Alberta. De-registration of the party is an administrative opportunity to re-organize and rebuild the party into a viable political organization. The importance and mainstream acceptance of the Green Party’s values and principles are on the rise, and the Green Party's many supporters can now look forward to a fresh start.  

The “Alberta Greens” Green Party of Alberta Society is now registered as a non-profit corporate entity in the province of Alberta for the purposes of advancing a “Green” agenda, and preparing the Green Party’s political future. A meeting will be announced in the very near future to plan a path forward

......... more information will be released as soon as it becomes available.

Former Green candidate Grant Neufeld has a bunch of the relevant documents posted on his site, along with his take on the events of the last year.

It's kind of funny that the Greens' slogan, still posted on their website, is "The Future is Now." Guess not.
