Some of Kenney's promises made to car dealers, my thoughts in italic:


  1. Immediately scrap the provincial carbon tax and join the coalition of Conservative provincial governments that are challenging the federal tax in court( The Feds will just impose one-no gain here)
  2. Roll back the modest personal tax increases imposed by the NDP on wealthy Albertans(Hurts 99% of Albertans)
  3. Freeze minimum wages “until other provinces catch up” and consider imposing lower differential minimums for young workers(good plan)
  4. Cancel all recent changes to the Labour Code, Occupational Health and Safety legislation and Workers Compensation Board – such as provisions that give parents time off to nurse a gravely ill child or spouses to escape domestic violence(eh? Don't know enough about this, but sounds like a petty move)
  5. Roll back consumer protections to “rebalance the playing field” between dealers and car buyers, plus handing regulatory enforcement of car sales back from the government to the dealers themselves(fox/henhouse?)
  6. Ban the importation of right-hand-drive vehicles from Asia(pandering!)
