Jason Kenney is giving a press conference that was supposed to be an update on vaccine supply but Kenney is currently blustering about the upcoming cancellation of Keystone XL. Follow along for updates. #ableg
Jason Kenney is currently making the ethical oil argument. Incredibly persuasive stuff. As we've seen.
Jason Kenney now acknowledging that PM Justin Trudeau also really, really doesn't want Keystone XL cancelled. "It is our fervent hope that the US will keep that promise to engage with its top ally."
"I believe that as the most important ally and trading partner of the US that the US owes Canada the respect to at least sit down with us and talk with us about this project."
Kenney is sounding really desperate here.
Kenney doesn't think the incoming presidential administration knows that the border crossing pipe is already in the ground. Surely if they had this information they would change their mind is Kenney's reasoning?
The desperation is just dripping off Kenney here.
Hard right turn into the vaccine supply part of the press conference where I imagine Kenney will not be so generous with Justin Trudeau as he was just minutes before.
Over 90,000 doses of vaccine have been deployed in Alberta.
According to Kenney we've run out of vaccine supply.
First dose appointments are being held back at the moment so that people can get their second dose appointments in the recommended time frame.
Kenney is deeply disappointed that vaccines won't be showing up as fast as he would like.
Kenney is also disappointed in the vaccine manufacturer issues that have caused this delay. Vaccination of First Nations seniors and all seniors over 75 will be delayed.
Jason Kenney blustering about the legal options he has to try and force the US to build the pipeline. Spoiler alert: those legal options are no-hopers.
You can practically smell the flop sweat.
