- United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney, in a fiery speech to party members, is promising an all-out attack on the "green left" and those who secretly fund and support the demonization of Alberta's oil. "We will pass a law banning foreign money from being spent by special interests during Alberta elections." He vowed to fight through the courts if necessary to get Ottawa to strip charitable status from "bogus charities" such as the David Suzuki foundation. Kenney also reiterated earlier comments to take actions on lenders working against Alberta's interests, such as HSBC. The UCP was created on a plan launched two years ago by Kenney to amalgamate the two right-centre Wildrose and Progressive Conservative parties.
