Alberta’s finance minister, Joe Ceci, not only made a major disclosure about the business of his own department, but did so in a deranged attack on Kenney

Not long ago, in analyzing the Alberta NDP’s use of a Lethbridge hospital as the stage for a wild pre-election attack on the opposition, I wrote that “Albertans have never watched a New Democratic government run for re-election, but B.C. and Saskatchewan know what it looks like when the party of labour triumphant pulls out all the stops.” I’m afraid the New Democrats have performed exactly as I encouraged you to expect.

What surprises me is that we are just receiving this information from a minister in the first week of an election campaign But the finance minister himself turns out not to feel bound by either the letter or the spirit of these rules. He has not only chosen to make a pretty major disclosure about the prior business of his department — a disclosure to which Albertans were not made privy before — but this disclosure has been set like a jewel within a slightly deranged partisan attack document.
