Leading the United Conservative Party of Alberta, @jkenney was elected Premier of Alberta 7 years ago today. Cheers to the team and everyone that worked hard to make it happen. Proud to have played a part on that campaign, as everyone of us should be.

The preliminary report made a big stink about not crossing municipal boundaries, but wanted to Frankenstein Sherwood Park-Strathcona into Beaumont, rather than just splitting the Sherwood Park ridings in two mixed seats retaining municipal boundaries.

Live west of Lethbridge? The majority report lumps you in with all the towns EAST of Lethbridge. Do you live east of Lethbridge? The majority report lumps you in with all the towns WEST of Lethbridge. Why? Any other arrangement would cost the NDP their Lethbridge seat!

Lost in the NDP outrage is that the current map is drawn up in favour of the NDP, they did draw it last boundary commission after all

Nagwan won Calgary-Glenmore by just 42 votes (0.16%) in 2023. The majority report shoe-horns the entirety of Tsuut'ina Nation, stretching more than 50km west of Calgary, into her riding in an attempt to help her hold the seat. It's a blatant gerrymander to try to help the NDP.
English
I think the stink about the riding boundaries is being blown way out of proportion. The majority report’s boundaries weren’t that good, and the minority too hybrid ridings too far in very specific areas. There should be more seats, I hope the new map with those seats is better
English
Especially because if we take the comparison at face value then it would legitimize the criticism he wants to shut down

Incredibly embarrassing boomer moment

The HOUSE ERUPTS Liberal MP Wayne Long: "that Conservative Leader and House Leader questioning our Prime Minister's economic education and experience is like a third line beer league hockey player questioning Conor McGregor's hockey skills"

See this is messaging that might move the needle

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner's bill would have ended the Liberal two-tier justice system that puts the rights of non-citizen criminals ahead of law-abiding Canadians. Liberals vetoed it. Conservatives will deport non-citizen criminals who commit serious crimes. Full stop. Sign to support one law for all: conservative.ca/cpc/one-law-fo…

Leader of ALP (Alberta Loser Party) blocked me, we stay winning!

If they would have just voted BQ to stop the Liberals why didn’t they? Most conservative voters in the riding probably did already

Final result in Terrebonne. If the conservatives didn’t run a candidate in this riding the Bloc would have won

@SomeGuy67791867 Jason Kenney failed in Alberta, I think he would fail to manage a federal caucus and party even more

So if the Tories are looking for a new leader, here's my take on potential replacements:
Garnet Genuis: 👍👍👍
Michael Barrett:👍
Raquel Dancho/Dane Lloyd: 👍
Caroline Mulroney/Jason Kenny: 🤷♂️
Tim Houston/Jean Charest: 👎
Doug Ford: 👎👎
Melissa Lantsman: 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

$7.2 million in a year!? And nothing to show for it, of two recent polls the best for the NDP delivered the same result as the last election.

Time for @JohnRustad4BC to take the hint and just take a hike!

I stayed quiet and just observed. Sometimes in the middle of chaos, that’s exactly what you need to do. But I’m going to set the record straight. Caroline did the honourable thing. She chose not to run because of the situation surrounding the collapse of BC United and the reality that many candidates weren’t going to be able to run. She had also stepped down as Vice President well before that. I know this because I had direct conversations with her. I remember the meeting clearly — John had his own conversations and meetings as well, and they were positive. I also won’t forget that Caroline Elliott, along with her friend Katy Merrifield, came out from Vancouver to Langley to knock on doors for me during the election. That’s the kind of conservative she is. With all due respect, John — the truth matters. And I’m here to set the record straight.

He has opposition syndrome. Reminds me of the NDP in Alberta whenever the UCP does something. No explanation for why it’s bad, no offer of a real alternative to the gov’t. Just reflexive opposition, screeching like a banshee at a gov’t that couldn’t care less.

Liberal taxes on gas are the reason prices are so much higher in Canada than in the U.S. Today, Carney Liberals offered a fraction of that back to overtaxed motorists, leaving almost two-thirds of federal gas taxes in place for two-thirds of this year. Mark Carney is just another Liberal. More taxes. More costs. More of the same.
English
That so many Conservatives online are bristling at Poilievre’s current comms strategy should tell you all you need to know about how non-Conservative Canadians must be reacting
English
“Canada is broken” was the real rallying cry that brought the Cons to their polling highs. But if Canada is broken, how can a few tax changes and reforms on the fringe fix things?
English
Poilievre won such a large mandate during the leadership election in 2023 because he was dynamic and able to articulate a case for alternative policy to Trudeau. Seeing him turn into a one-trick pony chasing another polling high with the same tired rhetoric is something.
