Throughout his career as an academic, politician, and author, Ted Morton has been a guiding force in the study and advocacy of western alienation.
His new book, Strong & Free: My Journey Through Alberta Politics, is an essential read for anyone passionate about Alberta’s political landscape.
This deeply personal account takes readers through the journey of a young, ambitious University of Calgary professor who became a trusted advisor to figures like Stephen Harper, Danielle Smith, Stockwell Day, and Preston Manning.
As one of the signatories of the Alberta Agenda letter to Ralph Klein, Morton helped lay the ideological groundwork for movements like Project Confederation.
Morton’s mantra of “More Alberta, Less Ottawa” continues to resonate, and his book chronicles pivotal moments in Alberta's political history - including his time as a cabinet minister and his near-success in succeeding Ralph Klein as Premier in 2006.
Over the years, Ted’s wise counsel has been invaluable to Project Confederation.
His insights have shaped not only Alberta’s political discourse but also the very foundation of our mission.
It’s an honour to support and promote his book, which offers readers a front-row seat to the last 40 years of Alberta politics.
Also, thank you to everyone who attended our events during our fall mini-book tour, and special thanks to Chestermere-Strathmore MLA Chantelle de Jonge and Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta Director Kris Sims for helping make it a success!
Discover the story of a man who has shaped Alberta politics and continues to inspire the fight for provincial autonomy.
Regards,
Josh Andrus
