FAQ
Welcome to the official FAQ page of the Republican Party of Alberta (RPA). Whether you’re a new supporter, a curious voter, or a member of the media, you’ll find answers here to the most common questions about our mission, leadership, political beliefs, and how to get involved. At the core of our vision are the principles of Alberta Sovereignty and Alberta Autonomy, which guide everything we do.
Will there be vote splitting?
No — not if the UCP is willing to work with us. We’ll be organized in every riding and open to negotiations where conservative unity is needed.
When are candidate packages available?
They will be released at our Fall AGM in November.
What is the Republican Party of Alberta?
The Republican Party of Alberta (RPA) is a political movement committed to defending freedom, protecting individual rights, and restoring true self-determination for Albertans. We believe in smaller government, lower taxes, and greater autonomy for Alberta’s future.
Does the RPA support Alberta independence?
Yes. The RPA believes that Alberta has the right to determine its own path. We are exploring full independence as a legitimate option for Alberta, allowing us to reclaim control over our laws, borders, economy, and natural resources. Our priority is giving Albertans the freedom to choose their own future through democratic means.
Where does the Republican Party of Alberta stand on property rights?
The Republican Party of Alberta strongly defends private property rights as a cornerstone of individual liberty and a free society. We believe landowners and property holders should have clear, secure rights protected from government overreach, expropriation, or regulation without fair compensation.
We oppose any legislation that infringes on a citizen’s right to own, manage, or pass on private property. Whether you’re a farmer, rancher, homeowner, or small business owner—your land is your right, and we will fight to keep it that way.
What is the RPA’s position on firearms and gun ownership?
The Republican Party of Alberta supports the rights of law-abiding citizens to own, use, and responsibly carry firearms. We oppose unnecessary restrictions and federal gun control policies that punish responsible gun owners instead of targeting actual criminals.
We believe in self-defense rights, support for sport shooting and hunting traditions, and the right of Albertans to protect themselves, their families, and their property. Firearms ownership is part of our culture, history, and freedom—and we will work to defend it.
Is the RPA affiliated with the U.S. Republican Party?
No. The Republican Party of Alberta is an independent Canadian political party, with no formal ties to any American political organization. Our platform is rooted in Alberta’s unique challenges and values, though we share a belief in liberty, limited government, and free enterprise.
How do I form a Constituency Association?
Start by applying to join your local riding board. Full instructions will be available at the AGM.
Is this a fiscally conservative party?
Yes — we support lower taxes, responsible spending, and lean government focused on core services.
Why not work with the UCP?
The UCP has failed to deliver a serious plan for independence. We’re willing to collaborate — but independence must come first.
Will the Republican Party of Alberta run candidates in the next provincial election?
Yes. The RPA will be running candidates across Alberta in the next provincial election. We aim to provide a principled and freedom-focused alternative to the current political establishment.
How can I become a candidate for the RPA?

Are you here just to protest?
No. We don’t do lawsuits or symbolic referendums. We’re here to ensure Albertans are given the chance to have their say in a binding independence referendum.
Do you support Alberta’s energy sector?
Absolutely. Our prosperity depends on resource development free from Ottawa’s interference.
What about working with the U.S.?
That’s on the table — but only once Alberta stands on its own two feet. Then it will be up to Albertans, and only Albertans to decide our future.
Can a person hold more than one political party membership?
Yes. If you agree with the mission and principles of the RPA you may become a member even though you hold other party memberships.
