Alberta Politics & Government Thread 3.0

Jason Kenney called it - it’s impossible to make the separatist loons happy. The question is how long the UCP will continue to be run by people with such unpopular views. The whole party structure was basically torn down during Covid, and now party delegates are drawn from the ranks of perpetually outraged kooks who have never built anything constructive or sustainable in their lives. So the UCP might be in the hands of an ungovernable mob for a long time.

Looks good on Smith, though. Lie down with dogs and you get fleas. I bet Kenney is having a good laugh.

There isn’t anything Carney or any federal government could do to make them happy. Grousing about Ottawa, the feds, and easterners is their whole political identity, and always will be. All the UCP has to do to keep them onside is keep blaming everything on Ottawa.

These morons quickly switched their #### Trudeau bumper stickers to #### Carney, without even knowing who he was before the election. Yeah, he’s the cause of all your troubles.

Let's not forget that Jason Kenney created this monster. If he's having a good laugh he should go stick his head in a toilet. He was the one that insisted the only way forward was to UNITE the right, and put all the crazies in the party. That they have taken over is a failure in his design of the party. During covid, he cravenly fell to their demands at the expense of the rest of us. He could have shut them down ,but he gave them power, let them grow, and they ousted him for someone even dumber. And let's not forget this is the exact same plan and problem the federal CPC have. They just haven't been complexly steam rolled yet because the PPC came around.




#### Jason Kenney, he wears this turd like a crown.

I think one of my most hated things about Danielle Smith (and it’s a long list), is that she makes me look back and think that Kenney is more statesmanlike than he was. I always thought he was a smarmy greaseball, and I don’t think I was wrong in that. But she’s so far past that, it’s incredible.

Like what? Kenney didn’t go far enough to appease the nutbars (which is why they rebelled against him); he also didn’t far enough the other way to people please like you (which probably wasn’t possible). It was a balancing act that Kenney and Hinshaw managed quite well.

We effeminately don't need to walk this road again. if you don't remember all the pushing and pulling from that part of the party that had Kenney working against Hinshaw's recommendations(and those of any health expert with a working brain) then I'm not gonna sit here and give you the full review.


The fact that you put Hinshaw and Kenney in a sentence like that tells me your recall of what occurred is completely distorted.

Jason Kenney invited and and encouraged the nutbars, knowing they were nutbars, because he thought he could use them to achieve his own political ends. He let the tiger out of the cage, grabbed its tail, and then it ate him, and now it's rampaging around our village. He knew better and did it anyway, and if he had an ounce of integrity he would be out there every day trying to repair the damage that he's done to this province. Instead I'm sure he's quietly collecting a cheque from some right wing donor or institution.
