On July 17, 2024, the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) hosted an influential webinar titled “A Better Alberta, A Better Calgary Party with Roy Beyer.” This episode featured Kerry Lambert and Roy Beyer, two pivotal figures deeply committed to reshaping Alberta’s future. The discussion centered on revitalizing Calgary through active civic engagement and fostering a broader movement for Alberta’s prosperity and sovereignty.
Introduction to APP’s Mission
Kerry Lambert opened the webinar by reaffirming the core mission of the Alberta Prosperity Project. At its foundation, APP is dedicated to educating and inspiring Albertans to reclaim control over their province’s future. By empowering the Alberta government to renegotiate its relationship with Canada, APP seeks to address the imbalances that have long disadvantaged the province. Lambert stressed that the APP’s goals extend beyond political affiliation; it is a unifying movement aimed at protecting individual freedoms, rights, and economic prosperity for all Albertans.
The Vision of Roy Beyer for Calgary’s Future
Roy Beyer, a leading advocate for Calgary’s transformation, laid out his vision for the city under the banner of “A Better Calgary Party.” Beyer articulated the importance of Calgary as a political and economic hub, noting that success in this city is crucial for Alberta’s broader aspirations. He emphasized that Calgary’s leadership directly impacts the province’s ability to maintain its identity and pursue a path of sovereignty. Beyer’s vision for Calgary includes strong conservative principles, but with a focus on municipal priorities that resonate with a broad spectrum of voters.
Project YYC: Civic Engagement in Action
Central to Beyer’s efforts is Project YYC, an initiative that exemplifies the power of civic engagement. The project was launched in response to the blanket rezoning plan imposed by the Calgary City Council, which threatened to overhaul single-family neighborhoods without proper consultation. Through Project YYC, more than 5,000 written submissions were made to city council opposing the rezoning, showcasing the collective strength of concerned citizens. Despite resistance from the current city leadership, Beyer and his team remain undeterred, demonstrating that community involvement can effectively challenge misguided policies.
The Formation of A Better Calgary Party
Building on the momentum of Project YYC, Roy Beyer announced the formation of “A Better Calgary Party.” This new political entity aims to restore common sense and fiscal responsibility to Calgary’s municipal government. Beyer emphasized that while the party is grounded in conservative values, it avoids overt political labels to appeal to a wide array of Calgarians. The party’s platform focuses on essential municipal issues such as infrastructure development, responsible budgeting, and the provision of core services. By concentrating on these priorities, the party seeks to win the trust of Calgary voters who are frustrated with the current trajectory of their city.
The Importance of Leadership and Civic Participation
A recurring theme throughout the webinar was the need for strong, principled leadership at both the municipal and provincial levels. Beyer called on freedom-minded individuals to rise to the challenge of leadership, whether by running for office, participating in local governance, or supporting like-minded candidates. Kerry Lambert echoed this sentiment, highlighting that Alberta’s future depends on the active engagement of its citizens. By stepping up and taking responsibility for their communities, Albertans can drive the change needed to secure a prosperous and self-determined future.
Broader Implications for Alberta
The conversation during the webinar extended beyond Calgary, touching on broader issues affecting Alberta as a whole. Both Lambert and Beyer acknowledged the increasing pressures Alberta faces from federal policies that often undermine provincial autonomy. The Alberta Prosperity Project, through its educational initiatives, seeks to galvanize public support for a restructured relationship with Ottawa. This includes advocating for greater control over Alberta’s natural resources, taxation, and governance—areas where the province’s interests have historically been sidelined.
Beyer’s efforts in Calgary serve as a microcosm of the larger struggle for Alberta’s sovereignty. Success in Calgary, according to Beyer, could set the stage for broader victories across the province. It is through local initiatives like Project YYC and the formation of “A Better Calgary Party” that Albertans can begin to reclaim control over their political and economic future.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
The July 2024 webinar was more than just a discussion; it was a call to action for all Albertans who believe in the promise of a better future. The Alberta Prosperity Project and its allies, including Roy Beyer and his team, are leading the charge towards a more prosperous and sovereign Alberta. The path forward requires the active participation of all Albertans—whether through civic engagement, leadership, or simply by staying informed and involved.
Now is the time for Albertans to take a stand. The challenges facing the province are significant, but so are the opportunities. With initiatives like Project YYC and “A Better Calgary Party,” there is a clear roadmap for reclaiming Calgary and, by extension, Alberta. As Kerry Lambert and Roy Beyer made clear, the future of Alberta is in the hands of its people. By joining the Alberta Prosperity Project and supporting local initiatives, Albertans can ensure that their province remains a strong, independent, and prosperous place for generations to come.
