Jason Kenney’s capitulation as UCP leader is a catalyst for more chaos in Alberta politics

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney fell on his own sword rather than be repeatedly stabbed in the back for the next year.

Actually, it’s not clear if Kenney voluntarily exited the top position or was pushed by senior members of the United Conservative Party who wanted the endless infighting over his leadership to stop.

And that fighting was not going to end with a vote Wednesday evening that gave Kenney a razor-thin victory of 51.4 per cent to 48.6 per cent.
