Alberta Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Resigns

Matt Jeneroux, a Conservative MP from Alberta, has stepped down from parliament without switching allegiance to the Liberals.

Statement on Resignation

In a social media post on Thursday evening, Jeneroux emphasized that his resignation was voluntary and free of outside influence. He expressed strong ties to his Conservative colleagues:

“I consider my colleagues in the Conservative Party very close friends, and I will miss them dearly.”

He also mentioned a supportive conversation with party leader Pierre Poilievre:

“Since my resignation [Thursday] evening I had great conversation with Pierre Poilievre who wished me all the best, as I do him.”

Motivations and Outlook

Jeneroux ran under Poilievre’s leadership with hopes of forming a government that could inspire hope for Canadians. He wished the party success in addressing economic challenges:

“I wish him and my colleagues all the best as they continue to raise cost of living issues facing Canadians.”

Earlier that same day, Jeneroux stated his decision was difficult but necessary. He reflected on his initial aspirations and respect for fellow MPs:

“I ran in the last election hopeful that Canadians would put their faith in a team led by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, offering a chance to change Canada’s perception in our own country and around the world. I wanted desperately to play a role in that vision.”

He also acknowledged speaking with the Opposition Whip, a trusted colleague, to formally resign:

“With all of this in mind, [Thursday] I spoke with our Opposition Whip – a colleague and friend for whom I have the utmost respect – to inform him of my decision to resign as a Member of Parliament.”

Summary

Matt Jeneroux’s resignation reflects a personal decision rooted in principle and respect for his party, despite his unfulfilled hopes within Canadian politics.
