Alberta’s budget is bizarrely a win-win for both Kenney and Notley

It seems fitting in so many ways that the official title of Alberta’s new provincial budget is “Moving Forward.”

This is a budget focused on a bright smooth road ahead, not the potholed recession-ridden dirt path we clanked along the past two years.

For the Alberta government, this is a post-pandemic budget. For Premier Jason Kenney, it is a pre-leadership-vote budget. For The United Conservative Party, it’s a pre-pre-election budget.
