Open call for Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to resign

'Albertans perceive our government as out of touch and arrogant,' says United Conservative Party MLA.

Simmering internal discontent within Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's United Conservative Party caucus has boiled over into an open challenge to his leadership.

Senior backbench member Todd Loewen, in a letter posted on Facebook early Thursday, called on Kenney to resign, saying he no longer has confidence in his leadership.

Loewen accuses Kenney and his government of weak dealings with Ottawa, ignoring caucus members, delivering contradictory messages, and botching critical issues such as negotiations with doctors and controversy over coal mining on the eastern slopes of the Rockies.

"Many Albertans, including myself, no longer have confidence in your leadership," Loewen wrote. "I thank you for your service, but I am asking that you resign so that we can begin to put the province back together again."

Kenney getting ripped by a far right-wing faction.

LOL! - Tories infallibly turn on their own whenever times are tough.

That's why the Grits win a little more than their share of elections.

They need Trump to come to Canada and unite the right!

Kenny needs to do the unthinkable and promise 50 cents a beer. Doug would have no choice but to price match it and beat the difference by 10%, so we are talking about potentially 40 cent beers in Ontario.

Kenny's only hope is the Calgary Stampede going ahead in July, if that is cancalled he's doomed.

Kenney's handling of this Pandemic has been woeful. He was supposed to be at the smart one in the previous Harper administration.
At one time Kenney was touted to be the leader of the Conservatives. Can you imagine if he won it and then went on to be the PM??
His messaging has been pathetic in the last few days, as he tries to pander to the extreme right elements of his Party and balance that with the main stream Conservatives.
Apparently he is likely to carry the baton of a one term Premier!!
