Alberta Premier Jason Kenney warned that he's prepared to hold a referendum on equalization payments if 'substantial' action isn't made on the Trans Mountain pipeline project. More here: cdnpoli elxn43

Though Alberta and Saskatchewan were washed in Conservative blue Monday, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau managed to hold on to power, winning a minority government, much to the disappointment of those opposing the Liberal party.

“Trudeau's re-election is going to tear Canada in half. Good job Quebec. You'll get your separatism desires. The west is leaving,”“VoteWexit.com”At one point, the number of group members surged from 4,000 to 42,000 in 10 minutes, appearing to cause the group’s external website to crash. Many prospective Facebook members also complained that they could not access the Facebook page.Ryan Switzer, a Swift Current, Sask. resident in the Cypress Hills-Grasslands riding, told CTVNews.

“There has been a lot of talk in my riding over the last four years of separation. There is a feeling that Ottawa doesn’t care about anything west of Winnipeg…There is a big feeling that the government does not have our back.”

The only person pushing is jkenney . Canada rejected negative politics. As a public servant you need to work for solutions to benefit ALL those you represent. Learn from your mistakes and work for progress or step aside for someone who can.

Cant remember Trudeau ever saying that but cons lie constantly so not surprised

PM Trudeau is not pushing you anywhere, Jason; that is all conjecture from your camp. You are divisive & very likely, the worst thing to happen to AB in a very long time. People are not stupid, we woke up here in ON & it is a matter of time before AB sees u for the fraud you are.

What a chump.

After Scheer lost the election, it's now Kenney's turn to be obsessive about Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm sure Mr. Kenney stays up whole night twiddling his thumbs, thinking about our prime minister.

Jason Kenney's narrative is shite. He and his ilk reside on treaty lands... Colonizers will exit the lands. Period.

He is even having trouble getting the words out😂 That is how you know that many of the things he has said is a lie. JustinTrudeau has been trying to get that pipeline up but he can't push the courts faster no matter how he is. Canada should not separated

CPC_HQ leadership chances gone with the Alberta budget. He has played a dangerous game and fallen into his own trap. Cunning individuals think they can fool citizens all the time. Albertans should have seen this runaway tractor a long time ago. Blue in color too! WEXITALBERTA

Remember when Trudeau said he wanted Alberta to seperate from Canada? Yea me neither. Kenney owns this, no one else does but him.

He's not even trying to. Jesus, is this guy a gaslighter.

Project much?

Kenney is such a sleeze

Seems the leaders of Alberta separation are Jason Kenney and Postmedia. There is no separatist organization.

Sad little man...

Just a reminder, you said you were leaving. It’s really to bad you guys screwed up the environmental assessment that caused the courts to say what you were doing was illegal isn’t it. Pipeline would be much farther along but for you. Incompetent.

And your country is Alberta or Canada? Important distinction.... Would you please respond so we all know!

And apparently not out of 1950 either.

You need to talk to Albertans !!! You’ve got some unhappy people in your province.... stop stirring the pot and blaming the Liberals for all your oil mess! Stop saying thecthis PM wants to force you out!!!! He’s NEVER EVER EVER said that!!!! Stop!!!

Why would he say that? This PM wants unity!!!! A country that stays together wven when things get difficult!

I don’t believe the PM ever tried to push him out, he said he was leaving. All Kenney’s idea. He does nothing but lie every damn day so why even listen to him. He needs to be fired.

Man falsely accuses Justin Trudeau might be a more responsible headline- at least it’s true.

FFS Jason Kenney, do you want to stay Canadian or do you not? Think of your country for once, and not your big oil corporations.

To the social media group: Selective quotes from JK are good for clickbait. They are also good for JK's distraction tactics so there's less talk about his highly ideological budget (not to mention the ongoing leadership investigation).

jkenney GASLIGHTING Canadians again!!!

🤮

Drama Queen of Alberta No one wants separation, but you're not holding Canada hostage bc you're mad past conservatives screwed you and the province. New hash tag DramaQueenOfAlberta

Why not jenney, you might enjoy it back in the good ole USofA harassing gay couples again. homophobe LGBTQ cdnpoli abpoli

Nobody is pushing you jkenney ... you're too busy slashing and burning Alberta to notice. cleanenergy

Trudeau never tried to push you out of your country. Nice try at deflecting though.

Stephen Harper once gave a speech where he advocated Alberta separation. But sure... blame Trudeau.

What a lying, gaslighting twatnozzle. And of course, kudos (NOT) to the complicit right-wing CTV “news” for amplifying his dangerous, divisive nonsense. cdnmedia. cdnmediaIsCorrupt cdnpoli abpoli

I wonder if Kenney blames The PM everytime he tries to take a wizz and misses the toilet.

Alberta is increasingly anachronistic in Canada & globally. Its oil extraction & destruction of our species' relation with nature is obsolete. It is not about Alberta being pushed out. It is about the economic interests that own the province being left behind. abpoli ableg

Maybe he could bring up that one at his prayer breakfast. jkenney could be charging more. Admission to an American prayer breakfasts goes for $2000 each.

Nobody is pushing any Albertans out of Canada, except for a small but loud band of entitled and confused rednecks. They can go if they want, but just realize that the land is Canadian and it's not for sale.

Jason Kenney needs to move to another country and leave this one alone.

This Premier of AB is a threat to our country. He needs to tone down the rhetoric and recognize the seriousness of climate change.

He’s a grade 10 dropout and CTV better start reporting truth instead of trash like Kenney. These liars are triggering low intelligent men. Any blood shed is on CTV’s hands. I cancelled cable, newspapers and never radio anymore

For the future try to remember that he is Prime Minister Trudeau.

I hate this guy and his crap

you are the one who is threatening it.

CTV stop playing stuff like this. It won’t help to heal and unite this country. No one is pushing Alberta out but Kenney.

I'm an Albertan and all I can say is what a pathetic idiot. jkenney has all the intelligence and depth of a tea saucer.

Kenney has to be the most dishonest politician in Canada. He opens his mouth and nothing but lies pour out.

Noted Tory political mastermind finally figures out Alberta doesn't have a coastline. Could have saved some time if he just looked at a map sometime in the past year.

Jason kenney, an ontario boy pretending to be albertan so he can move to ottawa and push andrew scheer from his house and job

'I'm not going to blame Justin Trudeau and the liberals for everything we fail at … oh wait that's our thing' Fixed it for you, Jason, and please continue you're free stuff bonanza You are under investigation by RCMP, and you're taking responsibility

Where is the AB separatist party? Ask Mr. Kenney what he will do when the AXIT party runs against him in the next provincial election demanding a separation mandate from the province’s voters? How will he defend AB against the separatist threat?

I’m confused. Didn’t Kenney threaten to leave sort of? How is Trudeau pushing him out?

Doing a disservice to the name Jason.

jkenney Geograghy alert - AB is already land-locked.

Since when did Trudeau say he was going to do that, you are so disingenuous. I can’t imagine Canadians falling for this nonsense.

So let me get this straight: He doesn't want to be pushed out of 'his country' (which I take to mean Canada), but he is ready to start his own country of Alberta? Which is it and what do you really want, KKKenney?

Reason died and the fools are at its funeral arguing it never existed. ABPoli

This is NotMyPremier KenneyHoldsTheKnife to the throats of Alberta's most vulnerable while pretending h's has no intention of making a deal with the US to move his oil. Not separation. Sale. abpoli

His emotional attachment to what? His golden pension? PMJT is not trying to push this babbling moron out of this country. Maybe he is just once again confused and is having a flash back to the days when his mom tried to push him out of her non existing basement.

This is grand standing, playing to your base, making no sense to the rest of Canada. Landlocked province beats chest, complains about fairness while chopping jobs and creating greater hardship for no reason. Doesn't know how to play well with others. Childish.

jkenney risks alienating the rest of Canada with his rhetoric. The PM never indicated any wish to push him (and certainly not Alberta) out of Canada. However, hearing those words make me wish I had the power to give him a hard shove over the border. I doubt I'm alone in that.

I find this hilarious as I had some wexit folk try to tell me they’d just become part of the states, or that it’d cost the rest of Canada to build rail lines so we could get AROUND Alberta 😂

Only Jason's talking about leaving, being pushed out or any such nonsense he & his CPC/UPC surrogates oughta stop bringing it up PrimeMinister Trudeau has never once made this Crap an issue & he's never brought it up that would all be on YOU MR. K Stop threatening Canada w Wexit

That’s hilarious. The only person pushing Alberta out of the country was....?

. So lying jkenney is trying to tell people that the PRIME MINISTER wants Alberta to separate? This guy is pathetic.

Well he’s certainly changed his tune. Kenney has been the one whipping up separatist fire and suddenly JT is the divisive factor? Nice try but the rest of Canada heard you. KeepAlbertaTossKenney

What a tool.

I’ve been completely on board with allowing a new pipeline through BC to help out our neighbours and their economy. But man are they testing that right now.

Good lord. This is a crisis of your own invention.

That will be his reasoning for running the pipeline through the US. His 1st move towards selling Alberta.

Stop making stupid people famous

Stop making problems where there are none! Every reasonable person knows that Alberta and Canada are inextricably tied. Without this relationship, neither entity can survive. So, kiss and make up, and let’s get in with it. jkenney

He lost his nuts. Somewhere between Ottawa and Calgary. He should be kicked out before he totally destroys Alberta.

It's the way jkenney won the election, and enlisted the naive masses. Throw gas on the fire, then act the part of the hero by pulling out a fire extinguisher. Blame literally everyone else for the province's issues. A little Pied Piper-ish.

how is trudeau pishing him out of his country? did any media bother to clarify that? kenney is the one spouting off with separation rhetoric.

What a POS jkenney ABPoli abpoli

what’s with this goof? Trudeau not once encouraged alberta to separate. jkenney is doing that for his own backwards selfish political ambitions. the guy is downright toxic. has he moved outnof his mom’s basement storage room yet?

Wasn't this guy in Harper's govn't who created conditions for people who felt exactly the same way he does now?

The standard Kenny speech, lie, blame Trudeau and/or the NDP, lie some more, blow sunshine up the UCP's ass, lie, lather, rinse, repeat.

Your country evolved and moved on. The 1950s are over and there is no going back.

'It's your fault that I beat you. You made me angry.'

Talking about separation is just like being in a marriage & threatening to leave every time you don't get what you want. Both kinds of relationships take work.

No one wants Alberta to leave. The vast majority of Canada would be quite happy if jason kenney chose to leave... but not Alberta. The only ones pushing anyone out are those who think it's political advantageous for them to stoke this wexit nonsense... looking at you kenney 🤨

Um Kenney....Trudeau is not trying to force anyone out. Grow up.

That's what planes are for.

Shame on Mr. Kenney for making such irresponsible, divisive comments. Aim higher. Raise the bar.

Could you remind me, what did Mr Trudeau said about Alberta to piss you off? Take your time I’ll wait

Whose a Drama Queen & still under RCMP investigation? Who withheld his Budget bc it was so bad it might have had anti-Con influences on Elxn? Who is harming the Disabled but rewarding the Rich? Who blames everything on PMJT (or Notley) rather than the CONs who caused it?

Why would anyone not call Kenney on this childish blame game. Kenney is to blame for the way things are in Alberta. He needs to admit his mistakes and stop lying. What a crock...

wtf...? Alberta: 'That's it, I'm leaving!' Canada: 'But we don't want you to leave.' Alberta: 'You can't make me leave!'

Wait, did you just wake up ?

Can we have a vote on that jkenney because I'm rather sure a superMajority of Canadians would like to see you leave?

Push you out.? ..Make you feel unwelcome? Trudeau has not ever said, implied or used that kind of rhetoric. In fact, he has expressed the exact opposite to Albertans over and over again. Good to know you are against the idea of separation however, now it’s time to work together.

Push you out? This is some really crazy spin. Trudeau has never even hinted at wanting AB to seperate. That was you, Jason. You promised your supporters a referendum on it. Now you backtrack on it & want to blame Trudeau.

Prime minister JustinTrudeau is not pushing Alberta out. He very much wants to work with us.He see’s this pipeline is important. The revs will help Alberta,and put money into climate wrong Kenney

Hey jkenny! No body’s pushing you. Remember, it was you that wrote the letter threatening to leave. abpoli

Alberta will not be landlocked if it joins the U.S. ..

I'm really really scared in Alberta I mean he is making the people in AB so angery as he can then we're going to hard each other that's unhappy what does he want to be the AB?The some interview he points immigration for voted so who's going to safe us if the MP said that enough

Stephen Harper was PM from 2006 to 2015 and didn't get these oh so important pipelines built & he's the good guy in AB? In one term JT gets the process going & buys a pipeline to build out & sell & he's the bad guy? Some explaining required.

Stop with your drama you are the separatist here , cons lost now you guys are playing dirty politcs again

Exactly the type of rhetoric I've come to expect from It's time for Cdns to use their wallets to show CdnMedia we WON'T stand for anymore of biased reporting & divisive sensationalism Who has a list of CTV News advertisers? BoycottCTVNews cdnmediaiscorrupt

Well done Alberta, well done suckers. Kenney doesn’t care about you, he wants the big prize of being PM.

Sounds like he’s ready to sit down and talk about issues rationally and be conciliatory. Oh wait.

jkenney can you please stop talking. You do not represent me, you are pathetic, with your own hidden agenda.

Ummmm I think it was your agenda, Republic of Arseholia, remember⁉️⁉️

Sorry Alberta, this is not leadership.

Y r u broadcasting this drivel🙄

whiplash

Was it not KENNEY AND THE UCP WHO ACTUALLY STARTED THIS WEXIT THING? Two faced and untrustworthy—SUCKERED REGULAR FOLKS IN AND NOW NEEDS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS NOT KENNEY. We all know better!!!

Article125 Right of access to and from the sea and freedom of transit 1. Land-locked States shall have the right of access to and from the sea...To this end, land-locked States shall enjoy freedom of transit through the territory of transit States by all means of transport.

What a joke! He’s the one who started the fire about Alberta separation!!!!

Great reconciliatory tone to start working together. Alberta is landlocked right now. But yeah, liberals are the real problem here 🙄

Wtf is he talking about? No ones pushing anyone anywhere! All JT has been talking about is unity & cooperation! Kenney's like a guy that wants out of a relationship but doesnt have the balls to say it and will gaslight you and drive you insane until you finally drop his ass.

He thinks something Trudeau says or does will make Alberta 'landlocked' ?... So clearly you don't have to have knowledge or intelligence of any kind to run for office. Also, YourAlberta is this really the best you could do? Also also, you guys were making fun of Newfies? Dude!

That is Prime Minister Trudeau to you jkenney

Is this man daft? This separation nonsense comes exclusively from his camp.

Trudeau isn’t pushing jkenney out, though. Stop reporting Kenney's words without fact-checking them. cdnpoli

Stop playing gross politics with our province and our country, jkenney

Nobody is trying to push him out of his country except himself and the nutbars he has been riling up with anti-Eastern sentiment

What is sad, so many Albertans believing in the rethoric of those lying Cons. They haven't figured out yet that they are being played. Had Alberta taken control of their resources,they would be one of the richest place in the world, But no they give it away to 'Big Oil'.

Trudeau is not pushing anyone out. Jas is going to need to tone down the rhetoric if he wants Sheer’s job.

This is crazy... WTF, did you just look at a map jkenney 🤦‍♀️

Oh stop already. He is trying to take attention away from his financial misery. I am sorry for AB but not for this cat.

why did alberta's elect this person as a premier ? he is going to be all talk, whine and nothing else. at the end of 4 years Alberta will need 6 years to recover from his damage.

Did I miss that part of Trudeau's speech? Nice backpedaling though Jason, stoke the fire, pour gas on it, light the match, toss it and then flee.

MMFlint Your thoughts?

Glad to hear Premier Kenney say something intelligent today. There is room for hope!

We now go live to check out Alberta’s extensive and not at all imaginary coastline.

Distraction

As a con man he’s an amateur. Trudeau this Trudeau that. Alberta will always be part of Canada and Canada will always be part of Canada.

Grandstanding and feeding anger and divisiveness!

Wherein Numpty the Clown finally takes a peek at a map of Canada. Hilarity ensues.

Wait what?! Kenny just realised that if Alberta supports HIS agenda to separate then he's f*cked. Is that what just happened? 😂

How much 'covfefe' does he drink in one day? WTH is he talking about? His hatred towards JustinTrudeau will come back to him like a boomerang. Hatred and malignant projection ALWAYS return to their source. YOU talk about separation, NOT Trudeau. So disgusting.

Holding a separation referendum thinly disguised as an 'equalization' referendum shows that jkenney *does* want to encourage separation.

Did Kenney just back down from his bad idea while making it look like Trudeau's idea?

Is he really this delusional ?

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read so far today. And that’s in a world where Trump tweets, so that’s saying quite a bit.

Just go back to your job and stop whining, you're not Donald Trump.

Bruised ego. He was so sure of a conservative win.

This guy really knows how to talk out his ass.

Look at Jason Kenney turn tail and run from his own bold statements. Amazing.

Where do I send the “Good Riddance” card to for Kenney!

Shut the hell up and get to work.

clownshoes

Since when was Trudeau pushing for separation?

Nobody suggested it

jkenney BUT YOU want to leave

In case you missed it Kenney....it's a country in which 70% of the citizens lean left.

Oh we don't need the PM to do it. We will!

Wait a tick. Isn't this the guy who has been stoking the 'Western Alienation' fire for months to further his personal political ambitions? Are you just going to stand their while he does his song & dance, and pretends to put the genie back in the bottle? Pathetic

Look ..it’s Mr. Rhetoric himself.

Lol. Told ya Alberta would say no to separation.

He won't have too...give it time and Alberta will push you out...

Kenney's back in the saddle. Scheer's job to shoot for and Trudeau to blame anyway even if that fails. Scheer winning last week was his nightmare!

😂😂wait a minute! Last month you were all gung ho promoting 'Rednexit' AB+SK separation!!! Now someone showed you the actual map😂😂😂 and yeah! 'Sh..t! Were in the middle of f&*~g nowhere!' You said! As PM you really need to fix education system of yours!😜😜😜

Jason just wised up. Separation means landlocked Alberta has no pipelines and has to finance their own oil subsidies.

Propaganda

Coward Kenney. This is Canada not Texas USA. Act like a Canadian & only then we’ll give you a voice.

This is EXACTLY like covering Trump by US media! cdnmedia willingly playing w fire w this hideous rhetoric & MSM will NOT hesitate to blame Trudeau for creating “division”. I listened to the 11 pm news on last night where J Napier? didn’t hesitate to blame only JT!

Don't you worry jkenney , we will dispatch of you as SOON as the next election. Even the Albertans you fooled to get elected are wise to who you really work for...and it isn't them.

Good lord, what a crybaby this man is. 🙄

Childish bevahiour just like Scheer and yet CTV keeps pushing the Trump 2.0 narrative .. shame mediafell

He says that like it was Trudeau's idea 😂😂😂 Uhm...what!?! 😳

Trudeau is NOT trying to push you out, but you are dividing your province and Canada with your rhetoric!

In other words, “I started this and I don’t know how to stop what I started, but I’ll say this nonsense anyway.”

I would very much appreciate it if the lies would please cease. It is not sentimentality and it is not adverse reactions to bullying. If you don't want to work with fellow Canadians, okay. You share a border with the US. Finance your own pipeline directly to the US market.

It’s like he suddenly realized that Scheer will be facing a leadership review.

jkenney is creating the divisiveness he blames on JustinTrudeau To complete his hypocrisy, he would jump at the chance to become CPC_HQ leader, with aspirations as PM of the country he’s threatening to divide, the first chance he gets. It’s sickening. cdnpoli

Let the leadership campaign begin. LittleBallOfHate

Without straw man arguments what would Jason Kenney have to talk about?

My Dad was born in West Calgary in 1920. His mother died shortly after. He was raised by his sisters. He left school in grade 6 to help provide for the family through the Great Depression. Joined the RCAF to serve and get a decent meal. -

I would encourage CTV to do some investigative journalism and dig into whom all the 'followers' are after the explosion in numbers. I'll bet 90% of them are bots paid for by conservative groups from around the world.

We don't run under a Presidential system, the Liberals got the most seats and have formed the government. Trudeau has tried everything possible to work with Alberta, even buying the pipeline that almost cost him office.

'I'm not going to let Trudeau push me out of my country' No that’s what the RCMP is for Jason. That investigation into your voter fraud is not going away.

Drama queen.

What the fuck is he talking about?

snowflake.

And they’re blaming Trudeau for dividing this country? FFS. 🤦‍♂️

Drama queen....next!🙄🙄🙄

Someone should tell Kenney that Alberta is already landlocked.

Who ever mention Trudeau pushing them out. I thought it was them who wanted to leave Canada

What does this liar smoke? His party is the one pushing separation, NOT the Liberals,, but his is trumpized, repeat lies over and over and the morons will believe it. FU Kenny!

'I'm not going to be pushed out of my country' is the language of violence. The origin of the creation of any violent independence movement will be traceable back to this day.

No one is pushing him out! This one has been used for years. It’s not the first time we have heard this! Just look at the voting record here for the last fifty years! He knows that people here love this stuff!

Kenny.Harper,Manning have an ulterior motive to push separation.

This type of language is not helping Alberta Jason! No one is pushing us out and you are stoking the fires when you blame it on the PM like this. Many of these issues are not new under Trudeau and have existed for a while! What did you do for Ab when in the federal gov’t?

Hmmm...the PC’s mysterious backers have spent a whole lot of money with not a lot to show for it in the end. I wonder if someone’s getting pushed aside alright, but not by Trudeau.

First Kenney says it’s Trudeau’s fault that he wants Alberta to separate, now it’s Trudeau’s fault that he doesn’t want Alberta to separate.

Am I hearing this right? jkenney is blaming who? This type of inflammatory diatribe just fuels the separatist's agenda. Are there no rational right wing politicians anymore?

Why isn't he charged with sedition and election fraud,

'In Canada, sedition, which includes speaking seditious words, publishing a seditious libel, and being party to a seditious conspiracy, is an indictable offense, for which the maximum punishment is of fourteen years' imprisonment.'

No one is pushing anybody. Enough already. Leadership is about finding common ground and being open to solutions. You might want to try that. As a former resident of Calgary who worked throughout Alberta, I find your constant negativity and divisiveness unhelpful.

No one's pushing out Alb. They're having an impish tantrum. They received economic aid and a pipeline. World oil prices have fallen, they don't have revenue because stupid insistence on not taxing. Yet, somehow Canada is to blame.

Put US flags behind him, replace 'Alberta' w/ 'the South' or 'Trump', replace 'Trudeau' w/ 'Obama' or 'Pelosi' and you'd swear he was a delusional 🇺🇸GOP Governor. Local issues in 🇨🇦 or 🇺🇸are rarely caused by excellent local leadership kneecapped by a mythical Fed boogeyman.

HOW IS HE DOING THAT. Unless you can find me evidence that he is, he have $1.6B to AB for the energy industry as well as buying the pipeline to save it. Where is your proof UCPCaucus TMX is still happening no matter what you say.

looks like saner heads are prevailing after the jkenney / WBrettWilson camps stoked a fire of Sepratism. realities setting in that your play is a bad one fellas?

Nobody is pushing Alberta out. It's jkenney who keeps talking about walking. So childish.

My premier is an embarrassment.

awww muffin

jkenney It is preposterous to suggest Trudeau is trying to push you out of your country. He is trying to keep OUR country together. It is a blatant LIE that he is not giving Alberta the pipeline they want. He bought the pipeline. He is building the pipeline. This is BS.

Can you imagine being his spouse?

His whole act is already tired. Perhaps kenney could reign in the separatist rhetoric and try working with others, like adults do everyday in their jobs.

Which should read: “I’m not going to let my irrational hatred of Trudeau get in the way of the Conservative agenda of subverting democracy to impose our will on Ottawa. Alberta is dependant on federal money so we can’t leave.”

This is pathetic. So embarrassing to be living in Alberta right now where no one seems to understand Trudeau did nothing wrong. The Cons are dividing and isolating and tossing blame around like Trump does. Grow up Alberta! And go away Kenney!

We don’t have time for the separation talk.

When you realize that WithoutAlberta not only did the Liberals win the most votes they'd have a majority, the problem isn't with the rest of our country. Maybe we need a referendum to decide if we even want that bloated cesspool if Harpercrits to stay?

PM Trudeau is not trying to push Kenney out of Canada, he is doing it all on his own. He needs to put on his big boy pants and starting working together with our PM

Don't worry Jason. We don't think you're Rush Limbaugh Fox News racist 🇺🇸 beliefs have anything to do with 🇨🇦 at all. To most of us out east, you and your American thinking CPC cohorts stopped being Canadian a long time ago.

No one is pushing you anywhere, other than to explain the leadership cheating

Hey kenney, the pouting child who grabs their toy and leaves the sandbox when they don't get their way wasn't 'pushed out' they choose to leave. Sowing the seeds of separatism and then reneging when he realizes his ploy worked is truly pathetic... kenney is a fraud.

I wanted to push him out of my province a short while ago, but don't know WTF he's talking about right now. 'Trudeau made me do it' must be the new Alberta meme for anything they do that's idiotic.

How are those fraud investigations against you coming along?

Then why were you talking about it,,, you fool!!!!

jkenney you're driving the bus in you're landlocked province. You don't get to push around the rest of Canada just bc you feel slighted. Try working with the PM and the rest of Canada bc you need us more than we need you. The country is called Canada not Alberta.

The issue for me is not Jasson kenney. He is a politician, he has to day things to get elected. My issue is with the Albertan constituents. Why the majority of Albertans buy Kenny's crap? His accomplishments? Or are Albertans masochistic.

What a joke. He is hated even by Albertans.

Calme toi

He would push Trudeau out, though... Hypocrisy is a favorite sin of Political Catholics.

No sh!t Sherlock... you’d be landlocked and screaming for help... sit down jkenney

Kenney is the one saying Alberta has to leave. Oh I forgot. He's a conservative and as such a victim.

Hey, separating and becoming a US territorial governor would make those pesky RCMP investigations disappear.

If Jason Kenney is breathing, he's lying.

My country? Have you ever not been a Drama teacher? And people fall for this?

I can tell but he's one of he Andrew sheers protegerse he's lying and he's a hypocrite cuz last summer the premiers of Alberta Saskatchewan New Brunswick Nova Scotia said if they didn't get a pipeline they would leave Canada

I expect KamikazeKenney will be pushed into jail once the RCMP finish their work.

He has it backwards. Canada should be making the deal for AB to stay...

jkenney

I mean I can't be pushed any further. I am already ran three provinces away. I run any further I have to go (shutter) into B.C. and there there is only the Pacific Ocean and I CAN'T SWIM, I mean I am from Saskatchewan for White Jesus'(tm) sake.

'I'm not going to let Trudeau push me out of my country'? So WEXITALBERTA was Trudeau's idea? Truly, this is the theater of the absurd. Thanks for amplifying this nonsense. Canadians: Let's boycott foreign-owned cdn media. They are NOT serving our interests!

So now the narrative is we are pushing jkenney and crew out of Canada? So funny. Alberta_UCP Wonder if the freedom fighters are as amused by this political bullshit as I am. JustinTrudeau

I can’t remember Trudeau threatening to push a Kenny out of the country!

Good grief, Jason Kenney, you're chewing all the scenery in one melodramatic soundbite. Also, that furrowed brow doesn't give you gravitas, not even close. ABPoli CdnPoli Elxn43 CTVPP PnPCBC

I try not to hate anyone but Kenney is the worst. He is sowing seeds of division. Right out of the trump playbook. He isn’t stupid. He KNOWS Alberta cannot separate. So what’s his angle?! ableg wexit rednexit

Well put.

There is the nub. Kenney represents 13% of the population of Canada, but if he caters to the separatists he loses Canada. It is all just a huge confidence trick

Easy with the mellow dramatics. You’ll be back in Ottawa before you can say MakeScheerAnInsuranceClerkAgain

SORE LOSERS.

Good of kenney to fight hard for his constituents, chevron shareholders.

Then leave on your own, Donut. You don't work for Albertans by any stretch of the imagination. Use your ear plugs down south in America.

How very trumpian of you Mr. Kenney.

Bye bye Alberta don’t let the door hit you on your way out

GriftAlert

What did Harper do all those yrs he was in power? Why weren’t you screaming bloody Murder at him? I don’t get it and lots of people feel the same way. Harper = Tidewater?

None of this talk before the election... now all of a sudden Kenney is a Canadian again?

For context, jkenney was born in Ontario.

Why is this person trying to undermine Canada? abpoli ableg

No one's pushing him. He's doing it all by himself. Has he blamed the weather on PM Trudeau yet?

I'm not going to let YOU ASSH*LE PUSH ME OUT OF MY COUNTRY...lockkenneyup

Step down Kenney, you’re hurting Alberta’s economy.

Grotesque behaviour, but to be expected from Kenney & the RepubliCons These incessant attacks are supposed to make us all despise Trudeau Not working cdnpoli

hyperbole abounds....shaddap

Eat shit UCP Randy Rednexit

No one is pushing you out of your country. YOU are the one threatening to leave your country. We can see right through you!

Poor victim, jkenney wears it well. Rednexit ableg

Check out Concordia as an option.

Ranting and raving the week after he goes on an unsuccessful mission to oust Trudeau is his sophisticated communication strategy. Trudeau dealt with Trump. This dude is small potatoes.

Well you started this fire buddy.

Well said!!

You can tell he literally made no plans for this election outcome and has no idea what to do next. He never had any intention of being a leader for Alberta. He convinced himself entirely that he would be pillaging the country with Scheer. Now what dipshit? fraud

Born in Ontario, raised in Saskatchewan, politician in Alberta, I am missing the point, everyone has free movement.

You took a geography lesson, well good for you. Don’t you have a MacDonald to open today? How about a Tim Hortons?

Are you ok Jason? You don’t look so good. Just focus your n running the province not ruining it. Again I hope you’re well.

You’re the one driving the separation bus Jason, think cooperation and for once stop the lies it cost the CPC the election this time. It’s wrong for you to think locally and act globally. Be a Canadian if you want to be PM one day

TerryGlavin Is he nicely backing off now?

Well at least Kenney gets it. Didn’t vote for him, but he’s right. Think pipeline approvals are hard now? Imagine if B.C. was a different country!!

vanreport The white Canadian man feeling unwelcome 😂😂😂 honestly ya couldnt make it up Haha

What a massively bad response. Kenney is playing a typical political game. Appear angry, set up committees, appear to listen, spend money and solve nothing. He's weak, obvious and clearly unconnected to Alberta on a gut level .

No one is pushing you out Mr Kenny, but it would be nice if you did leave. Take Andy with you,he may have an in for you with his duel citizenship 👍

Jason Kenney is more dangerous than the BQ and Yves-François Blanchet. consgottacon

TerryGlavin Good thing someone is being rational.

TerryGlavin Alberta: you do it to yourself, you do, and that’s what really hurts.

Entitled Manbaby is Having A Tantrum.

Or perhaps it is because without my east coast tax money their oil and gas companies won’t get any subsidies?

I haven’t been following this too closely. I thought Canada already has crude oil on our East coast. Just off Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, no? We need a trans-continental electric transmission grid. Not crude oil.

That’s the first smart thing JK has said

Trudeau is a uniterIts rediculous to suggest that he would push any one out. But we all including you should maintain the unity by a progressive movement to help all Canadians to receive the essential services and not live through cuts and cuts and a deteriorating environment.

Wow ... Kenney realizes that Alberta is landlocked and the cost to separate would bankrupt the new Alberta. Folks wake up! You may not like Trudeau but the rest of Canada doesn’t like Conservatives ... ask Ontario how that’s going. It’s time for all of us to work together!

Isn't Alberta already landlocked ?

And why would he Why don't you and your pal Scheer get off your nasty soap boxes and concentrate on moving ahead instead of continuing a character attack we are sick of. Get back to cooperation and negotiation.

What is he rambling about? This is another realDonaldTrump so folks believe this nonsense

Kenny eyes are on being PM one day. A politician always a politician.

Just wait a minute, he’ll knit you a pipeline. The matter is in the courts. You screamed scandal when he pressured the attourney general to reverse her decision in the SNC Lavalin affair but yet you want him to intervene in the trans mountain pipeline cases.

Separation is literally the stupidest fuckin idea in the world. Y’all gotta stop.

Wow! A Conservative Premier like Jason Kenney who actually makes sense when it comes to talking about no to WesternCanada separation from the rest of Canada.....

If is so bad out west, move to Ontario. Wonderful here. Plenty of Walmarts and Tim Hortons to hire you.

It’s Alberta who want to separate

I think it is Scheer who wants Alberta to separate.

Just a thought.

Or the families breaking apart from the economic stress & despair we want to work ,we want our fellow Canadians to have compassion& show us that we matter cuz right now we feel abandoned so y wouldnt we want to leave

Kenny a federalist at heart,seeing these comments anger me further,call ys cry babies, dumb rednecks etc.. but have u seen our food banks struggling with the demand or seen 13 suicides in 6 months of young adults in my sm. Community so tip of the 33% rise of suicides across AB

No one is pushing anyone out. Stop fueling the hate dear gawd!!! Why don’t you try and be reasonable and work with Ottawa and stop waiting tax payers money on moreBS!!

Cmon Kenney. Get some balls!! Start turning off the taps.

Indigenous populations were here long before Confederation chum. It will never be your country

When Harper was in government . How did exactly took care of east needs . Ont , Quebec , Marintimes was in recession . Alberta and Saskatchewan was on the run with economy. But there was no call for separation. We grim and bear .Economy eventually turned around

That’s because jkenney wants to be PM next. Andrew Scheer was the best thing that happened to Jason Kenney

This guy is unbelievable!

Since when was it your country it belongs to canadians

Why dont you and ford move to the states trump would love you

You’re already landlocked

We are already landlocked ffs and we're paying billions of dollars to ensure we stay that way.

It says a lot when even Jason Kenny is saying separation is a dumb idea. The tantrum needs to end already.

Nobody is pushing you tho 😂😂😂 Such a victim mentality in AB Get over yourselves

Please Trudua want the pipline as much as alberta but unlike alberta he wants make sure BC deosnt get fucked over by the pipeline spills its already getting built any way so right wingers can stop bitching the pipiline is getting built thanks to Trudue it was BC who stopped it

Hahah hahahahahhahahahaha

Why was it even mentioned?

Nobody’s pushing, jkenney...you don’t push a car downhill.

Jason Kenney’s approach is divide & conquer. Kenney is the one trashing the rest of the country

IDK Trumps looking for land.

This guy is talking for just talking sakes. He doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Why can't we all get along? Lol

You are smart

Jason, you are the voice the West needs. Consider, please, leading the West independence movement. Recall that Lougheed and Blakeny both on opposite ends of the political spectrum, considered leaving confederation!!

It is time for the West to look at leaving the concept of Canada. The concept does not work for the West. The East only takes & gives nothing ie: Quebec. The West would be much better on its own the price of being a nation is not worth it. JustinTrudeau AndrewScheer

Nothing like threatening dire circumstances the morning after the federal election instead of working towards nation-building cooperatively. Typical Conservative excess.

Turn off the taps, referendum on equalization (symbolism of last attempt) and then we separate. We no longer identify as Canadian if Toronto can support a smarmy and corrupt Trudeau like they have. Fucking gross.

This would give us the port of Churchill if B.C. Doesn’t want in ... the east pretty much has nothing we need except freeloaders ...

Trudeau is not pushing you out of the country. Do your job. Diversify your economy. Accept immigrants. Build up your tech and medical sector. Retrain the jobless. Take care of the less fortunate. Instead of running around the country. Just do your job.

Say what!? What are you talking about?!

What a mess 2BN But U know what? The solution's simple We have oil & the world needs oil We also need a 2nd alternative & there's lots working on that So let's market our oil & everyone benefits Promote that! & everyone's happy! N time the alternatives will also Bcapitalized on

Won't be land locked if we join the state's wexit

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Dude .... go away. Just .... go. Far. Far. Away.

There’s PPC taking an “L,” and then there’s taking an “L.” If Bernier and his Trump-blooded supporters haven’t gotten their free one, I’m handing them out below.

Be strong. We have your back.

Glad to see Jason Kenney understands Canadian geography.

Oh man you think Alberta leaving is going to open up those pipelines

Focus on all of Canada not just crappy Toronto

Ok calms down lah. Nobody is pushing you out. Take a breather and chill.

kenney you’ve put yourself into a corner with your rhetoric against Trudeau and have no other option. You should ask QC how much money, time and effort was spent on separation and the economic drain it was. It set them back yrs. That’ll hurt AB even more. Put your ego in check.

Professional victim.

Did he figure that out on his own or did someone have to point it out on a map?

If Alberta and Sask became their own country they would immediately crash their economy because of their debt that they would immediately have to pay off (~$80 billion), forcing them to borrow from the IMF and World Bank, which would cause mass inequality.

There is absolutely nothing worse than a threatening something you might not be able to follow through on, you loose credibility and can never retrieve it back, so good on Kenny for not having a knee jerk reaction. First with the head then with the heart.

You are now known as a separatist gov. You made that bed now sleep in it.

Better than what we currently have.

What? This rhetoric needs to stop.

A Premier stoking & promoting uncertainty and the prospect of chaos. Irresponsible leadership. Shameful.

They’re so stupid...🤦‍♂️

No if BC goes with !!!!

Push out Jason

You haven't done fxck all yet!

Who the fuck is your ally? Trudeau just won re-election on not doing anything for Alberta. So now what grounds does this idiot have to get a better deal considering he just gave up his only leverage with separation.

Why is CTV showing me a video of a fool?

That’s the bottom line

No one is doing anything. This may come back to bite him if he plans to run for PM.

Western separatists should read or reread their own provinces' political and constitutional positions prior to Quebec's two referenda....they were not diplomatic.....arguments that would today bite them in the derrière. BTW...Quebec actually voted TWICE to STAY!!!

lol ok Jason

This shouldn't surprise anyone. No premier or conservative MP wants separation it's bad for business.

Doesn't the UN prevent Countries with land locked resources from getting to market?

Turdeau and his liberals just murdered Canada!!!

The Gas Lighting continues !!!

Why would he agree with it? He’s not an Albertan

He is the one sticking the separation fire

When did he try and push you out of the country? When did he say kenney leave? did that happen captain delusion? Please Stop trying to manipulate people. Its very unbecoming of a Canadian.

Isn’t this precious. Maybe he should stop talking about separation and more about working with the rest of Canada to help his constituents. Such a big ego and so little intelligence.

OMG. WHAT A SORE LOSER!!!!! Crackpot!

Trudeau bought you a pipeline 🤷🏻‍♂️. Your economy sucks because you depend on an oil economy that is at the whim of world pricing. Also, next time you’re in a boom cycle, implement a provincial sales tax like other big boy provinces so it doesn’t hurt so much during a downturn✌🏽

Western separatists should read or reread their own provinces' political and constitutional positions prior to Quebec's two referenda....they were not diplomatic...arguments that would today bite them in the derrière. BTW...Quebec actually voted TWICE to STAY!!!

Jason, you don’t actually leave, you just threaten to leave à la Quebec, and then you magically get what you want.

Even jkenney knows separation doesn't open any doors .

Hello wexit people...you are going NOWHERE and it’s not because you are landlocked!

We need to push Trudeau over to Quebec and let them finally leave!

Well, if identifies as Canadian, and wishes to stay Canadian, then he better get busy working with the rest of Canada.

Maybe he can get the $ back he gave to Husky

What i learned in university. It doesnt work this way .But fill your boots. Environmental is involved so if it does anything with the environment. It is done and over. The west should learn fossil fuels are dying out throughout the world

Give us a break

Yrs like a small child if he cant have what he wants it is crying in the corner banging the wall scream i hate you i hate you I'm going to run away

has he released the budget ?

It's long overdue. Trudeau will never change and hating Alberta is in his DNA.

Red meat for the disinformation crowd

I am sitting here puzzling over what a referendum would accomplish. Oh well. Nothing. Moving on.

Don't say it--do it!

Them's fightin words ....

Well we are going to need that money to take care of us.

Did he mention that he was also involved in the formation of the current formula used for equalization payments?

The oil is staying in the ground! Keep voting Tory Alberta, it sure has helped you...not.

So sad majority innocent Sasktch&Albrtan's passions' been stoked/used by the hidden principles of CONs Parties(it normally takes yrs for any to figur..)that all CONs top Politicians take easy $$$s into their hidden accnts by helping all megaRich bad Corprtions:Tobacco, Coal,etc..

I agree, Quebec is firing on all engines, it can damn well pay into the pot this year, it should not receive a dime of transfer money

no pipeline will ever be built in BC.

Since the provinces don’t pay into the equalization “pot”, as much as Kenney May have convinced Albertans that they do, it only goes to prove one thing: Yes, jkenney is a self promoting jackass..... You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Fearmonger!

We are threatening now?

Is Premier Jason Kenney related to Minister Jason Kenney in the cabinet that authored the current incarnation of the equalization formula. cdnpoli elxn43 abpoli

This guy's as full of shit as Ford !!!

Didn't stephenharper make up the equalization payment formula? Also, AB needs to realize that climate change is real & their dirty oil patch will be phased out. They should look to DIVERSIFY so they don't keep having the same problem. AB needs to look to the future & adjust.

Jason should resign

Poor Alberta paying 89 cents a litre....

Lying crooked more

Blah blah blah same shit different day!Always threatens but has done nothing for Alberta.

A referendum on his own equalization formula because his plan to build a pipeline was halted because of an injunction on his badly drafted law. Kenny can have complete control if he buys the pipeline from the Feds.

Good luck

Hasn’t the pipeline been approved? What else can the Federal Government do? It’s in the courts hands at the moment.

But the Province of Alberta can't do anything about equalization payments. Kenney the Bullshit Artist.

Looks the lines are already starting to be drawn. Time to get some popcorn.

It does not work that way but whatever
