Did Jason Kenney have an effect on Conservative voters?Former MP and Deputy Conservative Party Leader Lisa Raitt on whether Alberta Premier Jason Kenney had an effect on Conservative voters. As a voter it didn’t affect me. I heard shadiness about vaccines, chatter about abortions/woman’s rights, assault weapons & possible 2 tier health care. That is why they didn’t get my vote, first time ever. Nice - watch an ad to hear “I don’t know”. Well played CTV, well played. Yes, he did. Period.

Don Braid: That Shandro shuffle doesn't quell party revolt against KenneyThe Tyler Shandro\u002DJason Copping switch did nothing to slow down the internal rebellion against the premier. Stop wanting Alberta to have a fresh premier in the middle of a covid wave like it's going to go well. And it shouldn’t…..But they all need to look in that proverbial PC mirror. We’re not looking for scapegoats and excuses…we want solutions. Quickly. The pandemic isn’t, and never was a political issue, they need to focus on health and quit worrying about political longevity It’s a good thing that Alberta paid all that equalization finally, because it’s the other province and the fed who are now stuck helping them.
