Kenney’s United Conservative government contends foreign interests have been working to undermine the industry for years and tapped forensic accountant Steve Allan to lead an inquiry

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.An inquiry into who is funding environmental opposition to the province’s oil and gas sector will be completed some time next year, at least six month later than its original target, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said Saturday.

Kenney was responding to a question during a livestreamed question-and-answer session with United Conservative members capping off the party’s annual general meeting, which was held virtually over two weekends due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He said the Canadian Energy Centre would be coming out with some large advertising campaigns aimed at garnering pipeline support in British Columbia and the United States, and appreciation for the energy sector’s environmental performance in European financial markets.Kenney was also quizzed during the session on whether his government would reimpose restrictions on bars and restaurants as COVID-19 case counts climb.

Alberta chief medical officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw has warned the province is in the “danger zone” as hospitalizations and intensive care admissions rise.Earlier Saturday, federal Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole told UCP members that Alberta has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic better than the federal government, citing an early lead in testing as one example.

Supply exceeds demand. Everything else is noise

this guy is so confused and misdirected, Is he trying to get the NDP elected again? How are you going to stop foreign influence outside AB? That ship has sailed buddy... why don't you work on some constructive non O&G related projects and investments to get people back to work!

Lol

Carpet bagger.

It’s no secret that Kenney has declared war on smart people, educated people, and science in general. Just like Harper. It’s time for a war on Conservatives and Conservative media. Time to save Canada.

I hope Kenney doesn't miss the Reds under his bed!
