Alberta politics

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney doesn't seem to have learned much since the last time Amnesty International took him on, but he certainly hasn't forgotten anything.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has only been in power for four and a half months. He still enjoys a post-election honeymoon with voters. Isn't it a little soon for him to jump the shark?

But things are only a little harder than normal for federal Liberals around here. Albertans always vote like this, even though it doesn't make much sense.

Amnesty International says the world expects Alberta to do better while Alberta's premier petulantly trots out the same old unconvincing excuses.

Even real conservatives, if such a species exists anymore, know something's gone awry with Alberta's fiscal setup and that part of the solution's on the revenue side.

Anything you say may be used against somebody who runs afoul of Premier Jason Kenney's $2.5-million inquiry to ferret out foreign-funded eco-subversives.

We don't know what the government of Alberta has in mind with this change, only that it doesn't seem to be inclined to volunteer the information.

It is quite clear this is not a legitimate study, but a political document intended to justify what the government has already decided to do.

If Jason Kenney is serious about achieving a destiny as prime minister of Canada, he's going to have to stop giving the impression he's a separatist, isn't he?

The leader of B.C.'s Green Party has no problem with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's "outrageous, completely ridiculous" claims. "It brings people to us. So keep it up!"
