THREAD: 1/x Some context on this short audio. In 1989, San Fransisco passed a quasi civil union ordnance. It was later reversed by voters in a plebiscite (yes, it failed in SAN FRANCISCO!). @jkenney was a 20 yer old student in SF at time. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

2/x Societal norms have evolved a great deal since. For example, Liberal stalwart Dianne Feinstein, while SF mayor earlier, vetoed a similar ordnance. Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton both opposed same-sex marriage up until quite recently. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

3/x NDP icon Tommy Douglas viewed homosexuality as a "mental illness." In 2005, 29 LIBERAL MPs voted against same-sex marriage. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

4/x @jkenney has addressed this bigger evolution issue many times. For example, on Ryan Jespersen's show last Thursday. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

5/x A story on the program for gay refugees that @jkenney started (o.canada.com/news/110825). Should Jason Kenney be judged for his views when he was 20, or his actions when he was a senior federal Cabinet minister? Voters will decide. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

6/x Individuals seeking to smear @jkenney argue people's views can't change. Of course, in doing so, they are also condemning all the voters who also opposed same-sex marriage a decade or so ago but now have no problem with it. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #UCP #CPC

7/x Our province & country have big challenges ahead. Some want to use old fights of the past as distractions. Where is this ancient audio coming from? Best guess: Ottawa Liberal research bureau which has been tracking @jkenney for decades. #ableg #abpoli #UCP #cdnpoli #CPC

8/x Why would Justin Trudeau's Liberals interfere in Alberta politics by leaking old recordings of @jkenney? The Ottawa Liberals would clearly have another 4 years of compliant, servile NDP government in Edmonton. #ableg #abpoli #UCP #cdnpoli #CPC
