1/ So @jkenney, who has zero mandate to make deals on behalf of AB with foreign interests, is in India.

He talks to the infrastructure minister about leveraging the private sector re highways. Kenney, who couldn't understand the Carillion bankruptcy proceedings.

2/ And he seems to have misrepresented himself as a minister. But, hey, we all pretend to be something we're not, right? Normal for a party leader to embarrass themselves like that, isn't it?

@UCPCaucus seems to think so. Doesn't seem to understand the ethics issue.
3/ So Kenney moves on to talk AB oil and gas with India's oil execs. We are told in his tweets about how great this market is as target for export.

JK still doesn't understand that we have no trouble finding markets; we can't get our product to them. So what assurances is he
4/ making? Is he going to lie and say the pipeline issues will be resolved by him?

He didn't resolve the issues when in the Harper government. They aren't just about political will. They are also about judicial process and land rights.

Is he misrepresenting this too?

5/ Kenney earned his reputation for being dishonest. His current behaviour goes beyond dishonesty. Like Ford in Ontario, it's dishonesty coupled with a disregard for some fundamental principles of Canadian democracy.

@Alberta_UCP continues to count on Albertans overlooking
6/ this behaviour. To encourage that, they will continue to be dishonest.

The culture seems pervasive from that party's own proclamations.

If Kenney has indeed misrepresented himself and AB on his trip abroad, there should be consequences. More than a fine.

The government
7/ has a trade relationship with India. It is not Kenney's role to interfere with it.

Given that Scheer plans to do the same on the federal level, it's fair to ask if this is an approach being pushed by IDU to destabilise non-Conservative governments by encouraging foreign
8/ influence headed into elections.

I am not a conspiracy theorist by nature, but these are strong coincidences - fitting with Harper's activities.

On that, we shall wait and see.

On Kenney, there should be an investigation as soon as he returns.
