The United Party of Canada’s national leader is that party’s candidate in the Ponoka-Didsbury constituency.
Grant Abraham says Ponoka-Didsbury is the anchor point for sovereignty and freedom in Alberta and also in Canada.
Abraham notes they are running candidates across the country in the 2025 federal election. He says “to actually contend for the freedom of Albertans first because they know the country is badly broken and that Alberta is the only place that actual true sovereign freedom and independence can be birthed. So right now we are running 17 candidates – one in B.C., five in Alberta, one in Manitoba and actually ten in Ontario.”
According to Abraham, we’ve been talking about symptom-type issues for a long time in this country and we’ve got to get down to the bedrock, root issues in terms of any of these discussions. He says “one of the big things that I was talking tonight about what post-nationalism means and it’s actually a betrayal of what are culture values and traditions are as a people in this country and in this province. More simply it means that we are going to be ruled by the UN (United Nations) and it is not going to be a democratic process we are going to be told what to do and that is nothing like what our forefathers homesteaded for or fought and died for. It is actually the tirany that they fought against. So I think Canadians need to start being told the truth.”
He adds, the United Party of Canada wants to stop equalization payments. Abraham says to vote for him because he is not owned by lobbyists, he doesn’t answer to pollsters and he is here to speak plainly and lead boldly.
All candidates running in the Ponoka-Didsbury constituency were offered the opportunity to share more information about themselves and their platforms.
Tell us about yourself?
I was born in Alberta and raised in BC, but my roots are firmly planted in the Prairies. I’m a lawyer, humanitarian, author, organic farmer, and a father of four. For over 20 years, I led international development and social investment projects in some of the world’s most unstable regions—Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe—helping rebuild families and communities with tools for long-term success.
I’ve seen what happens when nations lose their sovereignty, and I see those same warning signs here in Canada. Our values are being undermined, our borders weakened, and our families pushed to the margins. In 2022, I ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party. I met every requirement—raised $300,000 and secured national endorsements—but was blocked by party officials. Why? Because I was willing to speak plainly about globalism, foreign interference, and the failure of both major parties to defend Canadians.
That’s why I founded the United Party of Canada—with a group of patriotic citizens who believe we can restore the promises of this nation: truth, justice, freedom, and a future worth fighting for.
Above all, I believe that God has blessed this nation and that we must return to Him if we are to truly restore Canada’s strength, dignity, and promise.
What do you think is the most important issue for the area and why?
Albertans see that the system is broken—and rigged against them. We generate billions through our energy and agriculture sectors, yet we’re punished for our success. Equalization payments take our hard-earned tax dollars and send them to provinces that refuse to develop their own resources. Meanwhile, Ottawa forces us into net-zero schemes, imposes carbon taxes, and tells us we can’t build pipelines.
And the truth is: Pierre Poilievre isn’t going to fix this. He talks tough, but he won’t touch equalization. He’s staying in the Paris Climate Accord. He’s not challenging the globalist treaties or power structures that are bleeding Alberta dry.
That’s why sovereignty is the number one issue—because without it, we can’t fix anything else. When Ottawa is run by unelected global organizations like the UN, WHO, and WEF, it doesn’t matter who we vote for. Our borders, economy, and schools are shaped by foreign priorities—not Canadian values.
We need to restore power to the provinces. We need to get out of international agreements that punish our industries and handcuff our potential. We need to scrap equalization and stop subsidizing failure. Let every province stand or fall on its own merits.
Sovereignty means letting Albertans decide what happens in Alberta. It means protecting our way of life, defending our borders, and ensuring Ottawa works for us—not for Davos. Until we take that power back, nothing will change.
Why should someone vote for you?
I’m not owned by lobbyists. I don’t answer to pollsters. I’m here to speak plainly and lead boldly. I’ve rebuilt broken systems across the world—and I can tell you: Canada is on the brink of collapse if we don’t stand up now.
The Conservatives won’t save this country. They’re not even talking about globalism, foreign interference, or the reset agenda that’s hollowing out our values. The Liberals are driving the agenda—and the NDP are enabling it. I founded the United Party of Canada so voters like you have a choice that’s anchored in truth, freedom, and faith.
Vote for me if you’re tired of being politically orphaned. Vote for me if you believe in Canadian sovereignty, parental rights, secure borders, and life-affirming values. We’re not just trying to win seats—we’re rebuilding a nation. And that starts in Central Alberta.
What is your position on tariffs and the trade war?
President Trump sees that Canada is going to the dogs too. He isn’t asking us to adjust poultry inspections—he’s asking us to stop fentanyl production, human trafficking, and organized crime operating out of Canada. Instead of dealing with these issues, our leaders – both Conservative and Liberal – choose to escalate tensions. Trade should serve Canadians first, not globalist agendas. We must protect our producers—without hiding from our responsibilities. That might first require addressing the root issues in this country, I am the only candidate willing to ask the hard questions required to do that.
