Kenney told CBC’s Power & Politics show that his comments about Justin Trudeau do not fall in line with the tone he has been trying to set.

Kenney said Trudeau “doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing” and called him “an empty trust-fund millionaire who has the political depth of a finger bowl.”
He also said Trudeau can’t read a briefing note longer than a cocktail napkin.
Kenney earlier told the Alberta legislature that he is on a mission to bring back civility to politics.
