In this episode of The Lavigne Show, we're joined by two powerful voices from the recent United Conservative Party Annual General Meeting: journalist Rachel Parker and activist Blaine Badiuk. They share insights on the direction set by UCP members for Alberta’s future.

Rachel Parker, a seasoned journalist with True North Centre and host of The Rachel Parker Show, brings her sharp perspective on U.S. and Canadian politics. Known for her steadfast reporting on conservative issues and values, Rachel will discuss the highlights of the UCP AGM and what the policies and initiatives set forth by UCP members mean for the future of Alberta. She'll also provide her perspective on the wave of political change across North America, drawing on her extensive experience covering major events, including reporting from the U.S. when a gunman opened fire on President Trump.

Joining Rachel is Blaine Badiuk, a self-identified trans woman and proud Albertan Progressive-Conservative. Blaine made headlines at the UCP AGM for an impactful moment when she confronted radical trans activists protesting Premier Danielle Smith’s efforts to protect children. In a viral moment, Blaine left activists speechless as she shared her personal story, explaining how Smith’s approach supports trans youth as they grow into adulthood. Blaine’s unique perspective as a trans conservative adds a powerful and often unheard voice to the conversation around policies affecting the LGBTQ+ community and Alberta’s youth.

Rachel and Blaine will unpack the recent developments at the UCP AGM, including crucial policy decisions, the grassroots direction set by members, and the implications for Alberta’s conservative movement. They'll also dive into the broader challenges and opportunities facing Alberta’s government and the influence of the UCP’s approach on Canadian politics.

Tune in for an engaging discussion that promises a mix of firsthand insights, political analysis, and perspectives that challenge mainstream narratives. As Alberta stands at a pivotal moment in its political landscape, this episode is essential for anyone looking to understand the province's future trajectory and the voices shaping it.
