Hardly had Jason Kenney won the leadership of Alberta’s United Conservative Party before the commentariat had moved on. Kenney might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he has proved himself the most effective organizer and formidable campaigner in Canadian politics today. Kenney offered little in the way of concrete policy proposals on the way to victory, beyond boilerplate fiscal conservatism. Kenney was not alone in striking this stance during the leadership race, and there is every reason to think he reflects the public mood in Alberta. What is needed, rather, is federal leadership.
