Alberta premier fires back over former PM’s plan to door knock in election
MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — Premier Rachel Notley says it’s hypocritical for Alberta’s United Conservatives to encourage more women to enter politics but then take aim at a woman who left their movement due to what she said was abuse.
Notley says driving away Sandra Jansen, who is now NDP infrastructure minister, in such an ugly, public fashion still resonates.
“That probably has had the biggest negative impact on women being involved in politics for many, many years,” Notley said after an announcement Wednesday.
“Actions speak louder than words and it’s a bit hypocritical.”
