EDMONTON — A brouhaha over comments made about Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne in the Alberta legislature continued to escalate Friday with the Opposition Wildrose party suspending the MLA who made them. It was more trouble for the Wildrose, which came under widespread criticism for the attack on Wynne on Thursday. The comments and questions were posed Thursday by Wildrose finance critic Derek Fildebrandt while Wynne was a visitor in the legislature at the invitation of Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. On Friday, Mason said the contretemps won’t help as Alberta seeks Ontario support for the transboundary Energy East pipeline. That is something we should strive for, especially if we strive for leadership.”The NDP fired back at the Wildrose in the legislature Thursday.
