The Heritage Party of Alberta
The Heritage Party of Alberta was a right-wing political party active in Politics of Canada during the 1980s.[1] Throughout its existence, it was led by Mike Pawlus.
The party was founded in 1984 (and officially recognized in January 1985[2]), and in that same year it began negotiations with other small right-wing parties in Alberta.[3] The next year, they joined with Western Canada Concept and Alberta Social Credit Party to create the Alberta Political Alliance (later called Alberta Party),[4] but left the coalition a year later to run independently once more, in a local 1986 election. The party ceased to exist in 1987.
