Jason Nixon, Premier Jason Kenney\u0027s legislature quarterback, appears to be full of piss and vinegar after the budget comes down from Ottawa.
He has something to say about the oilpatch fuelling Ottawa spending plans while beating up Alberta and its oil.The world needs more Canadian energy and the mild-mannered Toews sees the Trudeau government’s potentially oilpatch-crippling climate policy as “aggressive, nonsensical, incoherent and irrational.”

The man says he will travel across Alberta getting as many UCP members as he can to vote in Kenney’s leadership review.As loyal readers know, there was supposed to be an in-person vote held in Red Deer Saturday.“The process has not been fair. They’re playing games,” says Jean.Yes, battling Trudeau is one big, big fight but it is not the only fight in town.
