Drew Barnes is a three-term former MLA for Cypress-Medicine Hat, first elected with the Wildrose Party in 2012 and re-elected in 2015 and 2019. Raised in Medicine Hat, the former realtor and rancher served on Alberta’s Fair Deal Panel and became known as one of the province’s most outspoken voices on getting a better deal from Ottawa. Removed from the UCP caucus in 2021 for criticizing then-Premier Jason Kenney, he finished his term as an Independent before leaving provincial politics in 2023. Today he is co-founding Alberta Now, a federal party modelled on the Bloc Québécois that will run candidates only in Alberta’s 37 ridings to give the province a stronger voice in Ottawa.
