It's also fairly easy to see that as a career conservative politician (from Ontario no less), Kenney is making a power move for his career to lead a jurisdiction that would most likely position him as a lead. This is a guy who abandoned his MP status (and criticized by the CTF for doing so) so he could run for the power vaccum that existed here. And the irregularities in the nomination process for leading the UCP lends to this narrative that it really is about positioning for power, especially when he gets a chance to challenge Trudeau and the Liberals.
This is as much about Kenney's political career as it is about the welfare of Albertans and Alberta values. But most UCP supporters may never see it that way.
