(The Canadian Press) REBUTTAL NDP’s Notley responds to Premier Kenney’s ‘fair deal panel’ announcement Nov 10, 2019 1:24 PM

The leader of Alberta’s NDP opposition responded Sunday to Premier Jason Kenney’s announcement in Red Deer yesterday in which he outlined the details of what a fair deal for Alberta should look like.

Former Premier Rachel Notley said in a statement that Kenney’s remarks are dangerous and intentionally stoke the fires of western alienation.

“He did not campaign on any of these issues,” Notley writes. “Instead of getting to work on the priorities of Albertans; getting the pipeline built, growing our economy, and creating jobs, he is exploiting the real frustrations of everyday Albertans by sowing the seeds of separation with tired ideas from decades ago. Alberta is part of Canada, and Jason Kenney needs to accept that.”

Notley also claimed Kenney has never talked to Albertans about putting their pensions in jeopardy.
