UCP --phony and desperate.

Jason Kenny's claim to fame is he was the man who wrote Stephen Harper's speeches including the outright lies of the past election.  Head of the UPC; I wouldn't vote for him as a dog catcher.  Harper throughout his reign was working us into a dual state of the USA and bowed at their every whim.   He tried and failed miserably to get a trade deal with the EU.  The Liberals knocked one out in their first year back in office!

It was obvious to the Canadians who voted them both out of office.

It remains the Conservative Party who milked 680 billion dollars from the Heritage Trust Fund leaving the province flat broke with infrastructure upkeep way behind.  Jim Prentice upon abandoning his post said on the way out, "I guess we hit the Heritage too hard". 

He did not mention stealing 7 billion dollars from Government pension funds then, denied it for 3 weeks before they were threatened with the court for the Government and AIM investments.  Only then did they renig, restoring the funds.   This action set them up as being "Thieves and Liars" which ultimately killed their reign.

The High River floodplain was known to them for more than 15 years and they did nothing.  Like the US Republicans; "that is what we have insurance for". High River debacle cost Albertans 30% rise in our home insurance rates!  The NDP Government, not so enamoured with insurance, set about mitigating the circumstance of High River.

In Jason Kenny's acceptance speech he referred to the 100.000 unemployed in Alberta without mention of a collapsed oil market coupled with a worldwide recession.

His target will be the NDP spending again he will fail to tell about the fact that the world agreed to enter into a deficit spending spin until we built up a new economy in the world.

In my view, he and the conservatives are every kind of political sleaze.   The industry will probably run to them on false promises of cuts and reduction of spending which means he is about to attack health care and any social nets that have been established.  He can't create revenue out of the blue so his "common sense" solution will mean bread lines or similar.

Kenny and Brian Gean adopted the public stance of doing away with transfer payments. There is no giant fund sitting in Alberta awaiting transfer to Ottawa! 

Transfer payments are made out of the Federal tax base and that alone.
