Nice, now to have him and Jean work out a merger and turf the orange plague!

Brian Jean has already stated he will step down for a election to choose the new leader of the new party whatever it is called and whatever colours they fly.

Now that's funny, but I believe there are more weed users in the Orange party.

We will see if he's serious about uniting the right or if he's all about Jason Kenny. I'm guessing the latter. Hopefully something can be worked out, I'm not comfortable with the right being split again.

I worry with all the infighting he has already caused in the PC party, this sure won't help them. Our only hope now is likely a merger with the WR and Brian as the leader. But I doubt if Kenny's huge ego will ever let that happen.

There is the quandary, Jean for Premier, Kenney and the PCs for extinction. the longer this feud plays ot the more likely we'll have another 4 years of the Gang that can't shoot straight.

The infighting was only coming from the liberals who infiltrated the PC party. They want the PC party to remain so that they can get the vote split again, and allow the NDP to retain a majority in 2019. Dont believe me that there is liberals in the PC party look at what Sandra Jansen did crossing the floor to the NDP.
In saying that 75% of the PC party obviously wanted to unite. As a WRP supporter I was against the idea at first but anything to get rid of the orange plague.

A single "center-right" party could win the next election. I doubt that would be the case of a "right" party. Seems the question WR will need to come to terms with is if it can move to that position, and if so, will the electorate believe them? The PC's who already own the center-right will be asking themselves if they can settle into Goldilocks bed which is probably just a nudge right.

Agreed ^
But I still got a major hate-on for those ******* PC's, and what they did to Alberta in their last years of governing

Hopefully he does blow up the PC. They are still the same old guard that was behind Redford.

This is the first big step in a number of steps needed to bring Alberta back to where it should be.
Good Job Jason and let's see what Monday brings.

I have no question in my mind that Kenney is nothing short of an opportunist career politician. Cut from the same cloth as Redford and the likes. Probably as fiscally conservative as a teenager with their first paycheck.
Frankly, he's the exact opposite of the sort of leadership this province needs. Need someone with the gall to put a foot to the public sector unions, and make the uncomfortable cuts. To not make the popular decisions, but the appropriate ones that have a long term benefit in the end. A guy like Kenney, it's all about keeping face and getting elected for another term. No thanks.

I remember when Kenny was a regular guy selling memberships for the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. I bought one from him. He ran for MP got himself elected and the ego and quest for power grew. He really hasn't done a lot for the taxpayer in a positive light.
He will never unite the right nor will he be able to lead a united right. His ego and quest for power at any cost is to big. His party is the Jason Kenny Party!
