The Conservative Party of Canada has 33 of the 37 MPs elected in Alberta. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Provost No. 52 is in. Statistics Canada lists Provost No. 52 as a municipal district. Who leads Provost No. 52’s council isn’t on an open record: there’s no open list of councils in Alberta.
