Alberta Premier Danielle Smith received 91.5 per cent support for her leadership from members of her United Conservative Party who voted in Red Deer, Alta., on Saturday.

"Our party is united as it has ever been," Smith told the cheering crowd after the number was announced.

The party said 4,633 ballots were cast in the vote. The result solidifies Smith's leadership of Alberta's governing party and confirms party members agree with the direction she has taken the province since she took over the party two years ago.

Hello Albertans ! I’m Emily, and I am participating in a scholarship competition run by Canadian Blood Services. I’m an active blood donor and advocate (currently the club president at my university!). I would love your help. I’m looking to recruit and have current donors join my team through the link. I would be more then happy to explain the process for registering to be a blood donor as well! Your donations save lives across Canada, and even if you aren’t interested in joining my team specifically I would still love it if you could look into becoming a blood or plasma donor. It’s only a bit of your time and will completely change another’s. The donation count on my team is from members across Canada, and currently you have all had over 100 donations completed during the summer which is absolutely incredible! Feel free to remove this as well, absolutely no hard feelings.
