Brian Jean attack’s Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s dealings with federal government
Jason Kenney’s arch-foe in caucus took his fight with the Alberta premier to the floor of the legislature Thursday and received in return a backhanded verbal slap from a cabinet minister.
“This government makes no apologies for standing up for the people of Alberta,” Shandro said after delivering a not-so-subtle dig at Jean by pointedly ignoring him as one of the co-founders of the UCP.“And, as well, thank you to the premier for being the only politician in Alberta with the vision to bring two political families together to defeat the NDP to form a conservative government that got more votes than any other party in the history of this province.
“The most important role is that of the government caucus. It is the government caucus’s job to know Albertans the best.”Kenney is facing a crucial vote on whether he remains party leader and premier. Kenney, speaking to the media in Calgary on Thursday after an unrelated announcement, reiterated that a simple majority is good enough.
Jean then lost to Kenney in a leadership race fraught by allegations of corruption still being investigated by the RCMP.
