"Most of the people that are signing up to vote against Jason Kenney are people who used to work for him, like myself," said David Parker.
Parker was an organizer on Kenney's campaign in 2017. He is now building support to vote out the UCP leader as executive director of Take Back Alberta.
"(Kenney) is not trusted by anyone in this province, whether you're left or right. And I don't think we should continue having a leader that Albertans can't trust," he argued.
