I think neither Kenney’s decades old statements nor Notley’s standing at a protest should be used against them, but to take issue only with one party doing it is partisan nonsense.
The sooner we can realise both leading parties are engaging in some pretty stupid and unhelpful misinformation and fear mongering, the sooner we move away from this sort of partisan bickering. Complaining when the “bad guys” do it while letting it slide when your side does it is just dishonest imo. Either take issue with it as a whole, or don’t.
When we become fanboys for a political party or a leader, we gain a skewed view of reality. That’s not a place you should want to be coming from when making a decision.

Not all of us are fanboys for any particular party. Some of us simply dislike some more than others. I'm certainly not a Kenny or UCP fan but IMO they are better than alternative for the majority of Albertans.
