A recent poll conducted in Alberta claims there's a three horse race for the UCP leadership with Travis Toews in third place. However, the Toews campaign says Travis isn't interested in what the polls have to say. ."Travis isn’t interested in polls. He is laser focused on his plan that will make life more affordable for Albertans and win the next election against Rachel Notley," Christine Myatt, Toews campaign director of communications told the Western Standard.."The Notley-Trudeau Carbon Tax is making life more expensive when Albertans can least afford it. As finance minister, I temporarily canceled the 13 cents per litre provincial fuel tax to offset the latest increase," Toews stated.."I think it is both responsible and fair to make this relief plan, as well as the natural gas price cap, permanent.".Toews said this is a fair decision, because Albertans own that resource and should get relief when prices are high."Given it is price sensitive, it is also responsible because we will always be able to afford to offer relief in a high price environment," Toews said..That plan also includes ideas to make Alberta's healthcare system stronger..The race is heating up in Alberta as candidates Danielle Smith and Brian Jean are neck and neck for the lead in a poll released Sunday with Toews following close behind. The poll from Leger, released Sunday, suggests the greatest proportion of UCP supporters feel Smith (22%), Jean (20%) or Toews (15%) would make the best UCP leader..However, the Toews campaign doesn't care about what the polls say and has decided to focus on its UCP membership response.."We are encouraged by the overwhelming response we have received from UCP members over the past weeks and look forward to connecting with many more Albertans in the weeks ahead," Myatt said.
