Despite being out of politics since resigning as Alberta premier and United Conservative Party leader, Jason Kenney still shares his thoughts on the issues via his X account.
The former premier weighed in on a story about B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad’s efforts to see a new pipeline and to see the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, returned to Victoria’s city hall.
Jeffrey Rath, an Albertan lawyer who has been a prominent voice for separatism responded to Kenney, blasting him for how his government handled the response to COVID-19.
Declining to address the critique, Kenney replied: “Would love to see a Venn diagram of hard core Alberta separatists, antivaxers, MAGA North enthusiasts, and anti-Ukraine types. I suspect it looks like a circle.”
