In this week's episode of your favourite political soap; mysterious allegations emerge, infighting continues, and a character we thought had been killed off exits the shadows
I wish we had a boring competent government. I don't care about the party . Just a government that puts the welfare of ordinary Albertans ahead of ideological positions.
Kenney has indeed become an embarrassment to Alberta and the rest of the country. In particular as a social conservative he has proven once again that they are all about taking things away the rights, freedoms and agency of those they deem not fit for Canadian society. It is good to watch them consume themselves once again.
You should either elaborate on that statement about taking rights and freedoms away or appear as a some kind of troublemaking jackass. e.g.what rights and freedoms have we had taken away from us (excluding COVID restrictions of course) ?
Cast asylum seekers as guilty until proven innocent.
Denied dying AIDS patients the right to see their partners in the hospital.
Voted against giving basic human rights protections to transgender Canadians in 2011, 2012, and 2013
Voted to block LGBTQ civil rights in 1998
Calls himself a champion of free speech while being party to the baring George Galloway from entering Canada.
From Amnesty International on Kenneys war room
“These initiatives undermine and violate a range of Alberta's human rights obligations, under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and international law, including freedom of expression, freedom of association, the rights of Indigenous peoples and gender equality,”

Kenney's detractors and challengers stand like pygmies against his intellect and political knowledge.
The fact that there is no credible replacement is what is securing his position right now, as far as I can tell.
Yeap. It speaks to the naivety of the former WR members in mounting a coup with no plan for what might happen after that coup
Doug Schweitzer
Brian Jean?
He's one of the pygmies I was referring to.

Regardless of their validity, how do those statements apply to Kenny's term as Premier? For example, some of them date as far back as the late 1980's.
Alleged social policy is almost always used to distract from real policy as social issues are more personal and therefore more emotional.
I'm disappointed in Kenney for wasting so much unpopularity without making unpopular decisions. He ran on an austerity platform and hasn't delivered.
