The first day of the Alberta legislature’s fall sitting saw the Opposition leader accuse Premier Jason Kenney and his cabinet of taking the summer off as COVID-19 cases soared.
NDP Leader Rachel Notley pointed across the aisle at Kenney and his cabinet during question period yesterday, and accused Kenney of leaving Alberta without leadership.
Kenney responded that every jurisdiction has had COVID-19 hard times and the NDP’s criticism is not helpful to solving the crisis.
He said the NDP have “always craved an Australian-style hard and brutal lockdown,” adding that it would have required turning Alberta into a
“virtual police state.”
