But Kenney also faces a growing challenge from the right, with 20 per cent of decided voters saying they support the Wildrose Independence Party (WIP). The Wildrose Independence Party was formed in June 2020 when Wexit Alberta and the Freedom Conservative Party merged. Jason Kenney's UCP is now running 11 points behind the NDP, a new poll by the Angus Reid Institute suggests. Williams said the support for the Wildrose Independence Party is not actually indicative of a surge in support for Alberta splitting from Canada. The Angus Reid Institute conducted the online survey from June 2 to 7 among a representative randomized sample of 4,948 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum.
