Kenny goes beyond now telling lies in the US.

9m

Kenny is a motor mouth trying every platform he can find to ingratiate himself with Trump and the Republicans.

At home, in Alberta, he if fudging the COVID numbers and none too carefully! He avoids the "R" number (estimate close to +2) and had not had two weeks of decline in the virus, Like the US epidemic, it is as bad as It is because of the Republican Party and Donald Trump. The US epidemic spiralled out of control because the US didn't react to it soon enough.

In Alberta Kenny allowed US employees in the oil industry to travel for their weekly visits into Washington and Oregon without isolating on return. The feds brought a stop to this. The fundamentalists' Christians running this party are opting in for Herd Immunization, let the bodies fall where they will.

The Conservative party formed in Canada from the US Republican party in 1902. Since that time they have been aping the US position in everything from pipelines to China. Trump is pressing China to mask his own incompetence.

The Coronavirus was identified in California in early January, in Germany in December and in France days later. They didn't know what it was any more than China did. These determinations were made by autopsy.

Kenny following Trump's act; not afraid to kill Albertans!

Trump and Kenny's position is that the WHO did not restrict travel from China in the first days of the outbreak!

The facts, as usual, are quite different.  At the point of time he references, we had no knowledge at all of what we were facing and the  WHO was on the ground trying to find the facts.

The US problems lay at the feet of their pricy overcharging private health care system.  Locked into profit mode none would take the time to do the necessary contact research and several weeks passed before states started their own actions.  There was no Federal leadership as there was in Canada.

According to Trump, this period was some kind of a joke Trump was saying time and again, I'm doing great, everything is going to be fine. 

Back to Kenny’s act now, he is threatening to put US trial meds into Canada if there is any delay in Canada's approval of the same tests.  The foreign tests are far from perfect, hot out of the door with profit the motive. Experimental is a kindness.

Time and again, Kenny is showing a reckless disregard for Albertan’s lives again!

Kenny's deal on natural gas!

Kenny has said he is upping the price of internal natural gas to 7 dollars per mcf because the gas companies are hurting.

The world market price on natural gas is about 4.50 per mcf up from the long-standing 3.00 per Mcf.

This is a simple tax rip off and the reason Kenny wants natural gas east over the west coast pipeline.

Alberta returns to an unsafe place to invest.

Jason Kenny took the office of Premier by constantly telling outright inflammatory lies. The biggest was protected by Post Media (Bell Media group) who would not allow comments to these outlandish statements of his.

Acknowledging this, Kenny on his first day of Premier elect said "No more lies starting today! Only the truth!"

Yesterday having taken the chair of Premier of Alberta, he said "I will bring in legislation that will allow us to turn off the taps to BC" The fact is, Rachel Notley has already got that legislation I place!

So, his first public statements are outright lies. The culture of a Government starts at the top. Investing in this one is plainly a risk!

The extreme right in the UCP has declared itself!

The #Brian Gene, Danielle Smith segment of the UCP has declared itself as Homophobic tyrants it stands against Gay rights and inclusion.  These knuckle-dragging backwater Mormons from southern Alberta make up the majority of Kenny's crowds.  Without them, he would be talking to empty halls.

#Danielle Smith started the party off with "cancel transfer payments" leading people to think there was a massive pile of money sitting in Alberta waiting to be transferred from Alberta.  No such fund exists.  Transfer payments are paid from the Federal Tax chest.

Brian Gene continued with this BS and #Jason Kenny bought into it and pushed the idea until I busted them on a Calgary Sun rant.

The party platform that Danielle Smith presented included a statement on Gay people.  "They will burn in the fires of hell"  Great politics eh?  Gene carried this forward.

Lastly (and the Mormons still believe this; Canada did nothing for Alberta in the beginning years.  It was the Chase Manhattan Bank that saved Alberta.    This BS flew, believe it!  It was a play on words.  Canada had received money from Ottawa from conception forward for half a century but, it wasn't called Transfer payments at that time.

I take the time to write this bit of history as this makes the rank and file of the Conservative following appear as they should.   That and funds donated by corporations who are looking forward to tax brakes, not realizing we are competitive with the world at large.

Jason Kenny lays it a bare.

This article from Red Deer says a lot.   Kenny sees a way to usher in a carbon tax; says absolutely nothing about what it will be spent on other than bringing back in the 10% Income Tax!

The 10% tax is a rip off for the general, individual taxpayer; the nebulous middle class.  Ralph Klein was able to do it by Robbing the Heritage Trust fund blind.  No cash left in it now to rob, Jason Kenny is going to introduce his own, open-ended carbon tax!

Whereas Notley's Government has a large refund thing on one hand, a constant into innovations that reduce energy use and improvements to life in general.

It is the Conservative dream to privatize health care, do away with any social program that he can identify as being in conflict with private industry.  This isn't guesswork; it is the Conservative agenda and has been for 30 years or more.

Albertan's stuck on Conservative are stuck on dumb!

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.

Deficit financing is a global plan, not an accident.

That is correct!  Every country in the world with exception of Luxembourg is heavily involved in deficit financing now and too many years into the future.  Even Norway!

The world economy has crashed!  Trading partners went broke.  The most sought-after customers or accounts are those with the heaviest deficit!  China who can rock the world's boat easily is the highest deficit while embarking heavily on financing Nuclear plants around the world, a profitable segment for them.

William Vickrey, awarded the 1996 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, commented:

Deficits are considered to represent sinful profligate spending at the expense of future generations who will be left with a smaller endowment of invested capital.

This fallacy seems to stem from a false analogy to borrowing by individuals. Current reality is almost the exact opposite. Deficits add to the net disposable income of individuals, to the extent that government disbursements that constitute income to recipients exceed that abstracted from disposable income in taxes, fees, and other charges. This added purchasing power, when spent, provides markets for private production, inducing producers to invest in additional plant capacity, which will form part of the real heritage left to the future. This is in addition to whatever public investment takes place in infrastructure, education, research, and the like. Larger deficits, sufficient to recycle savings out of a growing gross domestic product (GDP) in excess of what can be recycled by profit-seeking private investment, are not an economic sin but an economic necessity. Deficits in excess of a gap growing as a result of the maximum feasible growth in real output might indeed cause problems, but we are nowhere near that level.

Even the analogy itself is faulty. If General Motors, AT&T, and individual households had been required to balance their budgets in the manner being applied to the Federal government, there would be no corporate bonds, no mortgages, no bank loans, and many fewer automobiles, telephones, and houses.

This leaves in Alberta the Wild Rose Party and the Conservative Party whining doom and gloom but neither will  step up to the plate and tell the people it was their policy and their extravagance and philosophy that put us in this situation; worldwide; not just Alberta and Canada who both are in better shape than most of the world.

What can you expect out of a Jason Kenny?   He views Trump as a success by every measure.  Worships Trump you might say.  And, you can expect him to follow Trump's example in finance and administration to the letter right up until Trump is impeached.

Keep in mind Alberta would be in a much different position had the Conservatives not drained the Heritage Trust fund dry of some 780 billion dollars!  And, on Kenny's advise Trudeau marched out a whole string of lies about our economy and his phantom surplus.  (Kenny is noted for writing much of Harper's speeches and press releases.  His biggest asset is an Ego, a very large one.

Trump has ripped up all the Environmental agreements because there is nothing we can do about it anyway.  Trump has cut funding to seniors, the poorest feeling the largest cuts.  For some reason, his daughter now has access to all the top secret defense data in the US.  This is why I suggest an impeachment is sure to follow.
