Former Wildrose leader Brian Jean wrote a lengthy Facebook post Monday that argued “Albertans want a ‘mad as hell’ party.”

“Alberta’s future looks bleak unless bold action is taken,” he wrote.

His post touched on topics such as Alberta’s limited pipeline capacity and Canada’s Confederation before going on to argue that courts override the explicit wishes of the electorate.

“None of our political leaders understand the current anger of Albertans — Albertans want a ‘mad as hell’ party, that isn’t going to take it anymore,” Jean wrote.

He went on to compare Alberta’s relationship with Canada to a troubled marriage that needs to be saved.

“I believe that good leadership can salvage that marriage and return Canada to its true path,” he wrote, adding Alberta needs to “push back hard” and renegotiate the Constitution.

“But I am worried that no political party in Alberta is prepared to take up this fight. Some don’t have the stomach for it,” he wrote.

He ended his piece by saying that Albertans need a “government committed to a forceful agenda.

“Albertans must accept nothing less from their political leaders,” he concluded.

The post followed a stunt last week whenJean had a live Facebook announcement that kicked off speculation he may re-enter the world of Alberta politics.

Instead Jean and his wife Kim announced they are expecting a baby.

Jean didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
