Leaked Papers Reveal Secret Plan to Target Millennials and Influence Alberta’s 2019 Provincial Election
‘Confidential’ Manning Centre strategy document shows two-thirds of Millennials in Alberta reject conservative values
vA conservative think tank sought half a million dollars from wealthy donors to bankroll a secret project aimed at targeting Millennials and influencing the outcome of Alberta’s 2019 provincial election.
Leaked papers newly obtained by PressProgress show the Manning Centre requested $500,000 to “increase support among Millennials for conservative values, policies and candidates.”
The leaked papers suggest the Manning Centre is planning to share its research and messaging strategies with “influential conservative leaders, including the conservative leadership provincially in Alberta and federally.”
The Manning Centre is a right-wing think tank founded by former Reform Party leader Preston Manning and enjoys close ties with both Andrew Scheer’s federal Conservatives and Jason Kenney’s United Conservatives in Alberta.
