    1. He was better than he’s given credit for, and I was and am a detractor. He used the surplus to pay off debt instead of blowing it all like Alberta usually does (it’s hardly certain that Smith will avoid this temptation). He expanded charter schools, deregulated housing, raised tuition albeit modestly. Oh and made it easier to get custom butcher work on whatever meat you killed.

      1. Agreed with some of his policies but he did things the Ottawa way even when they were plundering Alberta and crippling our oil industry.

        1. I’m not really sure what you mean by that. Are you referring to his accepting the rancid child-care ‘deal’ with Ottawa? Because that would be a good starting point for reasons to dump Kenney.

    2. I think he did his best. It is not easy to govern when the population is divided. He has nothing to be ashamed of.

      1. Sorry, but the measure of the man is taken during difficult times.

        We are a western parliamentary democracy with a constitution, a bill of rights and charter of rights. And he went along with all of our other so-called leaders in completely undermining and trashing those rights which, we used to believe, were unalienable and superceded any circumstances, “pandemic” or not. Our rights have become arbitrary.

        Kenny did his part in breaking a sacred contract between a government and its citizens. That should be his shameful epitaph, not ‘he did his best in a trying time’. Guys like him, Ford, Justin et al are why I can’t tell my kids with a straight face what great country we live in – our government isn’t benevolent, isn’t working in our best interests, and our standard of living that separated us from the third world is being actively, deliberately, destroyed.

      2. He shot me full of poison for no reason except to make himself feel like a man. I’ll shit on that bastard’s corpse.

    3. Kenney is a liar and a fraud… pretends to be a “reformer” when in reality he is more politically aligned with Juthtin Turdhole and the Globalist fascists.

      He is more pathetic than Juthtin Turdhole and Jugderp Stingnk because those 2 Globalist psychopaths don’t hide their contempt and hatred for Canadians where Kenney is such a coward he pretends to be someone different, Kenney is a fraud.

      Enjoy your many taxpayer funded pensions you criminal parasite.

  1. I don’t know why guys like Kenney, Harper etc go non-combat at a certain point in their life. Is it because they understand that the Left is so much bigger and can’t be defeated? Or they understand that the electorate has been brainwashed to a point of no return? Is it blackmail?

      1. At least take his passport and put an ankle bracelet on him and every Provincial and Federal Politician who voted this Mandate into existence.

  2. On the whole Canada is NOT for Alberta. Kenney was for Canada. Alberta was second. That’s his problem.

    1. Yup. Now I expect he’ll land a cushy job with some Think Tank and move back to good old Ottawa, where he can bash “far right” Albertans for not appreciating him.

      1. “Polarized” Albertans … which is code for YOU SUCK and I don’t. YOU’RE polarized … I’m “normal”.
        Gigantic pile of feces

      2. Finn, for Kenney to land a job with a think tank, he’d first have to learn how to think. Not sorry he’s gonzo.

  3. He resigns at the same time as Premier Danielle Smith announces this and takes questions from the MSM …

    I do disagree with part of this, the part which states, “within a United Canada Act” and perhaps this part is necessary at first, when The Turd goes to an election (some rumblings on Twitter today about The Turd directing his people to get ready for the call in spring 2023) he’ll be able to campaign against this “within a United Canada Act”.
    Probably, the #Libranos will fight against this, which gives me hope that Premier Smith will fight against the #Libranos and at some point campaign for a referendum on separating AB from Canada. Perhaps Sask. will join us too…

    Clearly, Jason Kenney disagrees with some part of this, the timing is right there in your face.
    I’m not going to hate on Mr. Kenney. He served a purpose in uniting the right, and maybe Danielle Smith dodged a bullet by not feeling as though she had to impose nasty mandates? She doesn’t carry this baggage.

    We’ll hopefully never know now, even if mandates return to Eastern Canada this winter.

    1. I read about this in the NP. Smith railed against dictatorial COVID powers, now she wants to codify them. Not clear this price is worth the admission.

    2. Uniting the Right? He gave the Right, back to Club P.C. by snookering the biggest Dumbass Brian Jean. It wasn’t a Uniting so much as a Con Job.

      1. While there were 2 parties right of Notley’s NDP, they split the public vote and the NDP won election.
        We’re still paying for this idiocy.
        During their “time out” … the 2 “right of the NDP” parties negotiated a vote to take place to unite the right, then they decided upon an election to determine who will lead.

        and thusly, the right was united again, perhaps in misery, perhaps while being somewhat locked down and masked or being arrested for skating on a public outdoors skating ring. (none of which policies I agreed with)
        But they were united, which was the point, and “almost” guaranteed the NDP would have a rough time being re-elected.
        That was the point.

        I recall what my support (and membership in) the Reform Party gained us, for 3 straight majority terms.

        1. Danielle smith was responsible for the NDP victory.

          They don’t get 20% without her betrayal.

          The facts support this.

          She has a lot to atone for.

          1. I believe Prentice had a lot to do with the ascension of Wretched Rachel to the throne. Smith was foolish to throw in with Jim the goof and hopefully she learned her lesson.

          2. “Danielle smith was responsible for the NDP victory.”

            This, 100%.

            And precisely why I will never, ever, trust the quisling again. I’ll give her proper credit after an accomplishment, but prior to that I will always remain sceptical of anything she says.

          3. “They don’t get 20% without her betrayal.”

            How do you know that? Alberta had been turning left for many years beforehand. Smith herself put it best: Alberta elected the NDP because it had become left-wing, not the other way around (paraphrase).

          4. Smith is either ignorant, in denial or is trying to cover her ass.

            She was in line to become the next Premiere, the momentum was there, so were the votes. Prentice the commie had recently shot himself in the foot by ignoring the results of a poll the Cons had commissioned asking Albertans for their feedback. The people indicated they wanted fiscal responsibility & he went on a Lieberal-like spending spree.

            DS’s floor-crossing days before the election killed any credibility and goodwill WR had accumulated and threw the entire election into disarray. Unsure voters subsequently split 3 ways & Red Rachel’s reign of error began.

            While immigration from central & eastern Canada had been moving Alberta marginally politically left, the Commies would not have had the numbers without Smith’s FUBAR. The election of the NDP is entirely upon DS.

        2. NDP found the missing Laurence Decore voter. That heart attack in 1993 gave Club P.C. it’s only conservative years.

        3. I’d rather have Chretien than Trudeau Jr.
          Having Manning pushing from the right was better than O’Toole being Liberal-Lite to allow the Libs to tack further left.

          1. Chretien was one of the best conservative Prime Ministers we ever had. He campaigned on the left but ruled from the right.

          2. Scar,
            *With the exception of those “Team Canada” flights to secure lucrative trade deals in china that he initiated. That was the origin of what became the hollowing out of Canadian manufacturing.

          3. 1) There is no ‘hollowing out’ of manufacturing

            2) And if there was, it’s a good thing. Get competitive or die. Just stay out of the way of my Chinese goods.

            Indeed, Chretien was better than given credit for.

          4. Saying Chretien was better than Blackie (or pere) is like saying one pile of dung is less offensive than another. Either way, it’s still dung.

  4. I met Kenny by chance once at a restaurant just prior to the election, shook his hand and had a short discussion. I came away from that encounter feeling completely underwhelmed and had reservations afterwards about him – but hoped for the best. Until the “pandemic” when all hope evaporated and my initial personal assessment proved correct.

    That said, no way in hell would I have voted for UN Nuttly, so a bad place to be at that time for choice.

    1. The issues cropped up way before the pandemic. I remember it being 6 months into his term and thinking ‘so what? WTF is plan here? Does this guy even have any goals?’

      That’s the other thing about effective pols: it’s not just or even primarily about plans, it’s about realistic but meaningful goals.

  5. Goodbye & good riddance to the Liar Kenney. Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

  6. Translation

    I’m mad because I didn’t get my way so I’m quitting. And you shmucks who voted me in can pay for a by election

  7. Kenney doesn’t have a conservative bone in his body. Progressive through and through. Cut from the same cloth as Prentice.

    Sadly he is representative of the bulk of elected conservatives in this country

    Wexit.

  8. He failed, and I’m glad he’s gone, but many of you are too hard on him.

    He tried, he failed.

    You lot yapped, you succeeded. Right?

    1. He didn’t fail FRED he did exactly what he planned to do when he got in and that was to talk like a conservative and govern like a liberal, and none of us are the better for it

      He was elected on a red meat platform. All he had to do was govern from the right.

      Take note Ms Smith.

      1. I can agree with this comment Ward.
        I recall hearing an audio recording of Jason Kenney being asked by a call in, “I have this, this, and that problem… what programs will you have for me?”
        Kenney responded without hesitation, “NONE, we’re broke, next caller please”.

        So I did have my hopes up that he’d turn into “Premier NO” but it sure didn’t last long. Programs started popping up like wack-a-mole every week, and mandates…. and a fricken LOTTERY to entice people to accept a gov’t jab!

        Well, I said I wasn’t going to hate on J. Kenney…
        Remember when Ralph Klein could do no wrong? what was he doing? he was “Premier NO!”

  9. I genuinely think that Kenney expected to re-run the Harper playbook straight into 24 Sussex. Unite the two squabbling Alberta conservative parties, be the grand figure atop them, spend, oh, 18-24 months as premier letting the province run on autopilot, then swoop in to ‘save’ the CPC after the poor leadership of Scheer & O’Tooele with his ‘proven track record’ of ‘being a unifier’ blah blah blah.

    This was kind of a dumb strategy since premiers don’t get to the big chair in this country; I never said Kenney was all that bright.

    Then the pandemic hit and he actually had to do stuff. And instead of taking any kind of principled stand in defense of our basic human rights, he folded like a cheap tent and went all-in on public health restrictions and vaccine mandates and passports and all the other garbage. Just another petty tyrant. Like every so-called conservative politician in this country showed themselves to be, save those in the PPC.

    Good riddance.

    1. Yup, more or less. His strategy was dumb for another reason: Harper only got in because he was lucky. He was the wrong man in the right place at the right time with the ideal opponents and he still nearly blew it. It was pretty clear that Kenney wasn’t enthusiastic as premier. For the best, Poilievre is probably more electable.

  10. He carried out his WEF orders like a good little lacky. Had he stood up for Alberta instead of following WEF orders he would still be premier. I opined some time ago that he was a better premier after he got fired than he waw before his firing. Personally I always thought of him as being akin to Stockwell Day. A great minister but a terrible Prime Minister. I won’t be crying over his departure and sincerely hope that he and Hinshaw are called to account for all the vax deaths they caused.

    1. Exactly… Kenney chose to be a Globalist shitstain, no one forced him. Kenney chose to discriminate and brutalize citizens that refused the demands of the NWO Globalists…. that is his legacy, not “uniting the right” BS.
      He can pretend all he wants, Kenney killed Albertans and he forced them into an experimental medical experiment, he crushed their civil liberties without a care, he made up rules for others but not for himself, he is worse than Hinshaw, way worse.

      See you later you fat smirking Globalist POS.

  11. He was gay and has boyfriends and yet he never came clean with the public.

    I don’t care if someone is gay. What I don’t like is not admitting to it and deceiving people. If he cannot be honest about that then I don’t trust him about anything.

    And that speaks to his broader two facedness on so many issues.

    1. It’s nobody’s business what a politicians love life involves. He/she is not obligated to disclose anything about their personal life.
