Jason Kenney gives O'Toole his stamp of approval. Take that, Peter MacKay. - Macleans.ca

to thwart rail blockades and other activist disruptions by declaring various corridors and facilities to be “essential infrastructure.”

There seems, however, to be a deeper animosity between MacKay and Kenney, one that mystifies even some senior Conservatives that I speak with. He’d rather go with O’Toole, a guy who was in cabinet as veterans affair minister for a few months rather than a nine-year stalwart in Justice, Foreign Affairs and Defence.

As for what Kenney’s endorsement brings to O’Toole: a whole lot. The only supporter more coveted in this contest would be Harper, though the signal of Rona Ambrose’s support may nab a strong third place. Kenney’s nod will have substantial sway among Albertans and sympathetic westerners, although in a race where each riding is weighted equally, racking up the votes in oil country isn’t of massive value.

Can this one endorsement blunt the huge head start MacKay got in terms of money and other backers? Elections sort out such matters. Either way, the result will reveal how much sway Kenney has across the country, after a few years of being an Alberta-firster.

I don’t think that necessarily hurts PeterMacKay . May actually help him

With that endorsement, O’Toole is the last choice for anyone.
