UCP LEADER TAKES A SHOT AT THE PM—NO BACKSIES

The UCP leader isnt taking back anything he said this week about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

During an interview with the Calgary Sun—Jason Kenney was asked what he thought about the Prime Minister’s handling of the TransMountain matter..

Kenney said Trudeau doesnt have a clue what he’s doing—he’s an empty, trust-fund millionaire who’s got the political depth of a finger bowl–and cant read a briefing note longer than a cocktail napkin.

And when he was talking about it with reporters yesterday—he said he stands by his statement:

“I worked with dozens of MP’s in Ottawa, including critics who were thoughtful, intelligent, engaged people with whom I had a constructive relationship. Um–he wasnt one of them.”

For her part, Premier Rachel Notley thinks its more personal:

“I would suggest anyone who is presenting themselves as being equipped to lead the province—needs to learn very quickly—to rise above personal hostilities—and that is not what we see demonstrated in this.”
