I remain perplexed by the absence of Kenney (or even McIver) at today's Green Line announcement. They committed $1.5 billion (finalized only minutes before the press conference), but did not show up to the good news photo op. This is something that all politicians LOVE.
Yes Kenney dislikes Nenshi and Trudeau, but politicians normally put those aside for these type of ribbon cutting/sod turning/spending announcements.
Kenney's absence was conspicuous and becomes part of the story. It also opened the door for both Trudeau and Nenshi to criticize him (which they did). Had he been standing next to them, they would have kept quiet.
The irony is that Kenney (as a Harper Minister) made the initial federal commitment to the Green Line project back in July 2015.
