Among ardent conservatives, there’s a view that the NDP is behind all this. But every detail, document and statement — and several real offences — comes from conservatives
EDMONTON — Monday’s throne speech from the NDP was a typical blurt of government self-worship, but the political circumstances around it are truly unique.
The story soon led to another odd event at the legislature. Danielle Smith, there on a rare visit since her days as official Opposition leader, did a radio interview with Jason Kenney, now the Opposition leader.The big issue is whether Kenney, the supposed beneficiary of the Callaway campaign, co-ordinated, ordered or had knowledge of any such funding tactic for Callaway.
A trove of leaked emails and messages show a close, advisory relationship between Davies and Matt Wolf, the manager of Kenney’s leadership campaign. Despite all that, the documented evidence that campaigners engaged in something beyond simple goodwill chatter is almost overwhelming.
