Kenney says notion of Alberta Sovereignty Act 'nuts' via calgaryherald
Kenney dismissed the idea — a key element of Smith’s campaign — as ‘nuts’ in response to a question on his weekly radio show Saturday.
“Perhaps the premier and other ‘experts’ should reserve their opinion on this legislation until they can actually read it first.” “It would never become law. Alberta would become a laughingstock, with the lieutenant governor doing her job, which is to ensure the law, the Constitution is respected,” he said.Article content
Smith, who has dismissed repeated criticism of the proposed legislation, has suggested a sovereignty act would give Albertans similar rights and freedoms as those granted to Quebec. The premier declined to answer Saturday when asked about growing UCP caucus support for Smith, who last week received the backing of two more cabinet ministers, or the tone of the party’s leadership race.
Smith said Kenney should devote his time to unifying the United Conservative Party rather than interfering in the leadership process.
