Riding associations pushing for early leadership review emboldened to keep up pressure on Kenney
There was not much in the way of loud, visible dissent during the annual general meeting of Alberta’s governing party – a relative win for its leader, Jason Kenney, and his supporters.
And Danielle Smith, another former Wildrose leader – who famously brokered a merger with Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservatives in 2014, with disastrous political results for both parties – is also expressing an openness to re-entering politics. In his keynote speech on Saturday, Mr. Kenney acknowledged that members of his party are angry at him for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including his implementations of health restrictions and vaccine passports. Other Albertans are angry that his government didn’t move more quickly to stave off a disastrous fourth wave of the disease.
“If we can stick to the things that we were sent to Edmonton to do, I believe we will be favourably judged by Albertans.”
