In 2020, the goal of the Alberta premier will be to get traction on his signature promises to bring in more jobs, boost the economy, get more pipelines going and balance the books in three years
In 2019, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made good on his promise to take a blowtorch to core policies enacted by the former NDP government.
“I didn’t go through all of this work in the past three years, working to unite , two warring factions – all of this work, to sit in this office and preside over a broken status quo,” Kenney said in a year-end interview. Change was quick and acrimonious as Kenney, facing former premier Rachel Notley as Opposition leader, hurled insults and accusations across the aisle in two legislative sittings.
A publicly funded superlab for drug testing was tossed out. NDP workplace rules and injury insurance for farms were overhauled, exempting small operations.While the NDP focused on public delivery of health care, Kenney’s UCP is ratcheting up more private delivery of public care to reduce wait-lists.
