They largely ignored leaders of the Alberta and Liberal parties, who were left to paint themselves as the reasonable middle ground for disenchanted voters
United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney, left to right, Alberta Liberal Party leader David Khan, Alberta New Democrat Party leader and incumbent premier Rachel Notley and Alberta Party leader Stephen Mandel take their places during the 2019 Alberta Leaders Debate at the CTV Edmonton studio in Edmonton, on April 4, 2019.
“I respect your leadership but you made a disastrous mistake with your alliance to Justin Trudeau,” Mr. Kenney said. “You sold us down the river.” “Of course I’m frustrated, we’re all frustrated, but we can’t act out of a place of anger,” Ms. Notley said. “We must be smart and strategic.” Mr. Kenney said he condemned Mr. Smith’s remarks as hurtful and offensive, but he also said he accepted Mr. Smith’s apology and would not remove him as a candidate.
