Jason Kenney

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney fought Tuesday to contain a rapidly expanding COVID-19 crisis that has overrun hospitals and ignited a party revolt against his leadership.

As an emergency alert blared across the province notifying Albertans of another round of public health restrictions, some felt a range of emotions: anger, confusion, exhaustion.

Federal leaders pointed fingers and fired rounds at each other on Thursday, September 16, 2021, over the spiralling COVID-19 crisis in Alberta, each seeking to forge a link in voters' minds between the province's dire health emergency and the others' policies.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, facing a COVID-19 crisis that is threatening to collapse its health system in just over a week, has reintroduced limits on gatherings along with elements of a vaccine passport system.

When Jason Kenney promised Albertans the “best summer ever,” he probably didn’t imagine it would end like this, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Nobody knows where the premier is, and even his own staffers are unwilling to talk about when he might return, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

It’s as if everyone is waiting for someone else to make the first move — and draw the ire of the anti-vax movement so they don’t have to, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

If the Conservatives want to win an election in the future instead of just continuing to reminisce about the ones they won in the past, they’re going to need to put Stephen Harper and his political legacy behind them for good, says columnist Max Fawcett.

The Canadian business community appears to be largely supportive of the Quebec government's move to impose the country's first vaccine passport system.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he won't "take lectures" from federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu on how to handle COVID-19.

It wasn’t that long ago that a litany of pundits and politicians were proclaiming Canada’s vaccine strategy a failure, but in fact, the rollout should be a point of major national pride, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Alberta's top doctor is apologizing for causing "confusion, fear or anger" after communicating the province's plan to eliminate remaining COVID-19 public health measures.

Decarbonizing oil and gas production while letting market forces determine supply — not dismantling and phasing out — is still Ottawa’s fundamental approach to the national hydrocarbon sector, writes energy and climate journalist Markham Hislop.
