Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has sent a cease-and-desist letter to a Calgary-based news outlet because of what his lawyer calls "false and defamatory allegations" in a recent article. "I spoke to the reporter at the Western Standard and told him the same thing. Western Standard stands by articleThe cease-and-desist letter also claims the Western Standard acted irresponsibly because Kenney's response was not sought or included in the article. His office says it has no record of a media request from the Western Standard. We have multiple, credible sources who gave us the same statement in detail," publisher and CEO Derek Fildebrandt told CBC News.
