Alberta premier Kenney just started speaking. Anyone-else bracing themselves for how much he might embarrass us as a province? cpac.ca/en/direct/cpac…
taking questions now.
question from 'Kelly' (sorry, don't know her last name) "Do you have regrets?"
premier Kenney "Absolutely not. Had we not done so, the project would have died last year."

have decided to not quote everything - I share a link to CPAC in 1st tweet, & people can check it, if interested. Listening to Kenney speak, I hear things along the lines of "Biden owes us" and "Trudeau has to do something"
I sure hope Albertans understand this is on Kenney

Kenney "after promises made by Trudeau back in 2015, you can imagine my surprise from Marc Garneau and Amb Hillman, and the statement from the prime minister - accepting Biden's decision" (parphrased)
now he's threatening to go further in fighting in the federation (separatist talk?), if PM Trudeau doesn't do the same thing as when he stood up for steel and aluminum
(My two cents' worth: they're entirely different files - unfair to conflate steel tariffs with KXL)

btw, Kenney is painting this as though PMJT didn't go to bat for Alberta (IMO. Unless others are interpreting his answers differently) - yet when I was listening to CNN earlier this afternoon, the anchor was noting that Canada's prime minister was disappointed.
now he's comparing this to the aviation sector and the auto sector. As I recall, the Govt of Canada is investing in electric, in the auto sector. Not quite the same thing when discussing a pipeline (IMO)
oh good, a reporter (Janice) is asking if he'd consider looking again at the federal carbon tax, since he's claiming Alberta O & G is environmentally friendly (paraphrased)
Kenney "Door remains open. Potential expansion of carbon capture tech" (note his use of 'potential')

btw, if you do follow the link in my first tweet, to CPAC - fast forward to 22 minutes into the tape, because it's an empty podium until then. Also, once the presser is over, CPAC moves the link - so you might need to look around on their site for it.
