CALGARY — Alberta NDP leadership contender Rachel Notley has released her top priorities if she should win the job in October.<\/p>\n

Notley says she wants to help build a modern, progressive Alberta that provides people with quality health care.<\/p>\n

Her other priorities are a modern, effective education system, a transition to cleaner energy and more community infrastructure to help the province’s growing population.<\/p>\n

She says the long-ruling Progressive Conservatives are out of touch with people and voters are ready for a change.<\/p>\n

Notley says she think the NDP is well positioned to provide Albertans with a viable alternative to the PC and Wildrose parties.<\/p>\n

David Eggen and Rod Loyola are also running to replace current NDP Leader Brian Mason.<\/p>\n

“I really believe that Albertan’s values have moved beyond those of both conservative parties and in fact they are looking for a more progressive, forward-looking government with a different vision,” Notley said Monday.<\/p>\n

“I think that’s what Albertans tried to vote for in the last election in many respects and they were deeply disappointed and that trust was broken.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
