Western newsletter: Alberta Throne Speech sets stage for spring election campaign GlobeBC
No one – except perhaps the premier – really knows when a provincial election campaign will begin in Alberta, but all eyes will be on a Throne Speech scheduled for Monday.
That lack of detail sits in contrast to the United Conservative Party, whose leader Jason Kenney has been making regular platform announcements on a wide array of issues. His latest announcement was a promise to cut the minimum wage for workers under 18 as a way to boost youth employment. He’s also promised steep cuts to corporate taxes, increased rights for property owners, and add new protections for domestic-violence victims.
Mr. Callaway’s campaign has been under increasing scrutiny since late last year, when an audio recording surfaced in which UCP insiders appeared to discuss Mr. Callaway running a “kamikaze” campaign in which he would attack rival candidate Brian Jean so Mr. Kenney would not have to.
