Former premier Jason Kenney, who co-founded Alberta’s governing United Conservative party, says separatists have infiltrated it and are wielding an outsized influence.
Kenney, speaking to business leaders in Edmonton alongside his former political rival Rachel Notley, says that after the province’s separation vote in the Alberta referendum, the party will face a reckoning.
He says the UCP needs to decide whether it stands on its founding federalist principles, and if so, separatists need to be shown the door.
Kenney’s conservatives defeated Notley’s NDP government in 2019, and Premier Danielle Smith took over as UCP leader in 2022.

Pair of traitors
They are going to tell the Chamber of Commerce that if Alberta separates and taxes go down, regulations go down, red tape goes down that businesses and investment will run away?
Riiiight…
Amazing that Notley can show her face in this province after her clown show leadership.
Randal turncoat!

That says it all. If Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley are FOR staying in Canada, something is wrong staying in Canada.
Only reason Kenny got in was to remove the evil witch Notley. Pair of clowns.
