Alberta Conservative infighting laid bare with removal of MLAs from Jason Kenney's caucus
from 10/3: Canada Covered · host Postmedia
Conservative infighting in Alberta came to a head last week, when Jason Kenney’s UCP caucus kicked out two of its members. The vote came after one MLA stepped down as chair of the caucus and told the premier it was time to resign. But it’s just the latest in attempts by some MLAs to undermine the premier. Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell joins Dave to discuss why the MLAs were voted out, whether Jason Kenney is in deeper trouble with the party’s base, and where the party goes next.
