Most political observers agree that Jason Kenney is a wildly successful politician. I won't argue with that. He is strategic, smart, calculated, and notably prolific. So why is he floundering and making so many avoidable mistakes as Premier? Some thoughts...#ableg 1/9 Jason Kenney has never been a leader before. He has never had to lead a government. He’s been an MP, he’s been a Minister, and he’s been a successful Opposition Leader. But, governing is different and it’s becoming more clear that his skill set is not transferable #ableg 2/9

Ooookay, @jkenney just said male candidates “understand tactical politics a little better than women”. He must be talking about voter fraud, intimidation, and creepy video recordings. 1/8 #ableg #abpoli #tacticalwoman Let’s unpack: he went on to say that rather than racking up years of “tactical political experience” women are doing “more useful things like professions and running businesses and helping with families”. 2/8 #abpoli #ableg #tacticalwoman

@jkenney was asked two seconds ago if he will keep energy efficiency programs when he scraps the climate leadership plan. He said: No, gone! 1/6 #ableg #abpoli #climatechange To be clear, the programs funded through EEA are saving Albertans over $510 million. Kenney says they'll be "gone". 2/6 #ableg #abpoli #climatechange efficiencyalberta.ca/itsbeenabigyea…
