Progressive Conservative leadership contender Jason Kenney says he hopes to sleep in the homes of Albertans as he takes his plan to unite supporters of the PC and Wildrose parties on the road in a cross-province tour in a pickup truck.

At a news conference staged in a gravel parking lot in the shadow of the Alberta legislature on Monday morning, Kenney launched the “United Alberta Truck Tour”— a plan to drive around the province, visiting each of the 87 electoral districts at least once.

“I hope to be staying as much as I can with people in their actual homes who are going to be generous enough to open up their homes to a free boarder for a night or two,” Kenney said.

He said the tour will go on for several months in advance of the next PC convention, to be held in Calgary in March 2017.

Kenney arrived at the launch by driving up to waiting media in a Ram 1500 pickup that was a near colour match for Alberta flag blue, with a white “UNITE ALBERTA KENNEY” sign affixed to the driver’s side door.
