Jason Kenney's Populist Edge (ft. David Khan)

October 20, 2022 • Big Shiny Takes

Environmental lawyer and former Liberal Party of Alberta leader David Khan joins the Institute to talk about the ongoing rehabilitation of Jason Kenney's image.

National Post pundit John Ivison writes that the reason Kenney failed as Alberta premier wasn't because he was a total slimeball who pandered to the far-right but was too much of a coward to go all the way, but because he was just too great a guy.

It was a real Shakespearean tragedy, as Ivison says without irony.
