Jason Kenney

Premier Jason Kenney, a former federal cabinet minister in the Stephen Harper government, insisted that he was a “proud Canadian” and not advocating Alberta separatism, but federal ministers suggested his claims were false and irresponsible, provoking polarization.

The federal government of Justin Trudeau took the initiative on Jason Kenney's first day in power in Alberta, offering to exempt a list of specific oilsands operations from environmental assessment if the new UCP government sticks to Rachel Notley​​​​​​​'s 100 megatonne emissions cap.

Jason Kenney was sworn in as Alberta's premier on Tuesday, ushering in a United Conservative government that has promised to reverse many of the climate action policies of its NDP predecessor and revive its energy industry.

Ed Whittingham has resigned as a board member from the Alberta Energy Regulator, citing concerns over the policies of the province's incoming United Conservative Party government, led by premier-designate Jason Kenney.

An online campaign that started out as a tongue in cheek response to premier-designate Jason Kenney’s promise to develop a $30-million “war room” against environmental activists in Alberta is picking up steam.

While the federal government focuses on what they say is the big threat facing the 2019 election — foreign influence in politics — the real threat is domestic, writes Nora Loreto.

Jason Kenney's Alberta election victory has sent ripples of enthusiasm and concern across Canada. Ontario Premier Doug Ford welcomed a rising Conservative wave, British Columbia grappled with the Kenny campaign promise of squeezing its oil supply and Quebec stood firm on its rejection of oil pipelines.

Kenney's victory, coupled with Doug Ford's win last year in Ontario, gives Trudeau a custom-made narrative: elect a federal Liberal majority as a counterweight to the proliferation of provincial Conservative governments, says pollster David Coletto.

Messages in our political discourse need to be meticulously fact-checked and corrected. Here's what we're doing about it.

Jason Kenney, Alberta's incoming premier, said he cordially talked pipelines Wednesday with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — Kenney's political nemesis and his election campaign piñata — and said the plan is to meet soon for a one-on-one.

An unofficial turnout shows nearly 70 per cent of Albertans voted in Tuesday’s provincial election — the highest in decades.

The Trudeau government says it isn’t satisfied with First Nations consultations on the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project, and is pushing back its deadline to make a decision to June 18.

As the SFU panel wrapped up, Sue Gardner urged Canadians not to go on with business as usual. "The world is f**ked right now. Like seriously. For real. Donald Trump is President. Democracy is crumbling all over the place...There’s all kinds of things happening around Canada. It’s extremely unnerving," she said.

It is the first provincial election for Jason Kenney, a former federal cabinet minister in Stephen Harper's government.

Alberta's two political heavyweights have renewed their challenge to Ottawa over legislation they call a gut punch to the province's oil industry.
