Let's rally around Premier Kenney

-

I just cannot believe the vitriol and abuse levelled at Premier Jason Kenney and calls for him to step down. Even within the UCP, at high levels, there are those that say he has done too little and those that say he has done too much. Public polls show him at a very low level of approval.

Now why is that? Do these people have their own agenda? The NDP is making the most of it. Kenney is our leader. Leaders have a responsibi­lity to make judgment calls in times of crisis. Just like in football. It is third down and a yard to go for a touchdown. Do we go for it to win the game or settle for a safe field goal?

Kenney has always made the winning choice. Sometimes it has not worked out the way he hoped it would but he has always put Albertans first.

I am asking all Albertans to rally around Kenney. Do not let a bunch of backstabbe­rs mislead you. We can all do better than the NDP.
