Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's speechwriter has met with Indigenous leaders in the province following criticism for columns he had written years ago that have been called racist. Paul Bunner sat down last week with Indigenous leaders, including Chief Wilton Littlechild, one of the leaders of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The chief said the provincial minister of Indigenous services reached out to co-ordinate the meeting shortly after Bunner's articles were reported in the media. Speechwriter Paul Bunner met with Chief Willie Littlechild on the weekend. "We welcomed the thoughtful, productive discussion with the group, including Chief Littlechild," Kenney's office said in a statement after the meeting.
