Danielle Smith's tough talk aimed at thwarting possible 'Take Back Alberta' UCP coup

Smith’s leadership isn’t at risk — not this year, anyway. Control of the party apparatus is what’s at stake, with serious potential for another upheaval.
Take Back Alberta, generally speaking, thinks the party grassroots should run the government. They see the party executive as a watchdog and power centre on its own.
This is entirely at odds with the traditional view that the party board is there to back and help the government.
Many positions on the 17-member executive are up for grabs this time. President Cynthia Moore won’t run again, and only one “traditional” member is said to be running.
The board could be filled by Take Back Alberta candidates with few exceptions.
