Manifesto underscores the depth of frustration in Alberta, says Premier Jason Kenney

A manifesto by four federal Conservative MPs from Alberta that warns against the rising tide of Western alienation underscores the deep frustration being felt in the province, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said Friday.

Asked at a press conference about the manifesto, Kenney said, “I think what that letter underscores is the depth of frustration. I think a lot of people are going to come to the table with a lot of ideas and a lot of commentary. All of it underscores that the frustration of this province is deep and genuine.”

“We have made it as clear as day to the prime minister and his government that Albertans not only expect but demand respect and fairness in this federation and that we are prepared to act if we end up with federal policy that further injures our economy — for example, should the Teck mine not be approved.”

Ken Boessenkool, a Conservative strategist and former adviser to former prime minister Stephen Harper, said on twitter that the manifesto arose “from a sincere and real feeling of alienation.”

What hogwash. I don’t want someone of Michelle Rempel’s ilk being frustrated on my behalf. I’ve been through downturns in the oil industry before. When it’s happened, I work harder. Rempel just whines and becomes more obnoxious. cdnpoli

Bullshit

jkenney should denounce it

Interesting choice to call it a manifesto. You could've gone with declaration, but nah. Better to use loaded language.

It underscores that the province failed to diversify its economy during years of economic boom time.

Manifesto shows degree to which conservatives are pissed off because they did not win federal election. The party picked Scheer and he dropped the ball where it counted most.

Just get the referendum legislation in place so we can thank our hosts on our way out.

watch businesses flee, and professionals too-if doctors don't leave now over the tearing up of their contract by the province

The word manifesto is too be used only with socialist dogs - thanks.

I am so glad you take the time to post these articles. It is good that you focus on one point. When Ontario hit the hard times, how many people said to get your books in order and sort yourselves out. Was there a war room formed? Did Ontario do ANYTHING like this?
