But as his days in office wind down, Premier Jason Kenney is also spending some of his attention discussing another issue: the economic ramifications of the Alberta Sovereignty Act pitched by Danielle Smith, one of the front-runners in the race to replace him as UCP leader.while speaking on his weekly CHQR radio program.
On Monday, the UCP government rolled out details on its new “Alberta is Calling” ad campaign, designed to entice workers in Vancouver and Toronto to consider relocating to the province. Completed last month, the poll indicates 62 per cent of business operators say they’ve experienced moderate or significant staff shortages.
Calgary Chamber of Commerce president Deborah Yedlin criticized the Alberta Sovereignty Act, saying it could lead to capital shifting to other places. Some legal experts have dismissed the idea as unconstitutional, while business experts say the policy would create uncertainty for companies looking to make long-term investment decisions.
It’s just because he wants to be the Prime Minister some day.
First smart thing this melted candle with pubes stuck in it looking motherfucker has ever said.
If Führer Trudeau's legacy media is behind the Documented Liar Kenney, then Trudeau is scared of the SOVEREIGNTY Debate!
NuttyASaSquirrelTurd. BatShitCrazy
He is wrong. There will be initial concern from investors for about six months until they see how this works. People will continue to flood into Alberta for the well-paying jobs, opportunities, and affordable high-quality lifestyle.
Holy shit he’s right about something
Yep, it happened to Quebec and it could happen here too. Investors don’t like instability and her proposed Sovereignty Act would definitely create that.
See Quebec, still do not have the jobs they used to have after chasing them away Literally uhauls of people leaving lined the highways Smith will Kill Alberta Piss on Canada and then DEMAND they do what you say?
Doubt it!! More investors would come as you clowns stop meddling! This gives the politicans of double whammy as their hands gets less on the cookie Jar!
He is from Ontario. He allowed our chief medical officer destroy our province.. He needs to shut up.. And go home..
UCP members will decide if the act is good for Alberta. Not Kenney.
jkenney needs to stop talking. He was so busy regurgitating fancy taglines to further the covid narrative that he didn't see the tide go back out. Now he is alone and exposed on the sandbar. washedup
The guy has one tactic and he uses it over and over and over and over... 😱
Ah Kenney, you could always count on him to cave to Ottawa
TheWest is getting screwed. AdiosOttawa. Just go away Jason and stop meddling.
Can someone jog my memory of what Kenney has done for Alberta by standing up to Ottawa? Could my lack of memory mean that he did absolutely nothing, and that's why the leadership confidence faltered amongst his peers?
As opposed to the federal just die policy's?
Kenney was elected leader and premiere on a platform of putting Alberta first and “standing up to Ottawa”. His abject failure to do either has lost him his former supporters and cost him both positions. He should slink-off stage quietly. ableg
I do not think that Jason Kenney’s policies exactly helped attract businesses to Alberta.
jkenney you are irrelevant and small.....good bye! Quit trying to influence the election and prop up ur buddy TravisToewsUCP
*says the guy who merely wrote angry letters and (largely) failed lawsuits as we lost hundreds of billions of dollars of investment thanks to Trudeau
Never did for QC
