The Lacombe Pride Society is speaking up and holding MLA-elect Jennifer Johnson accountable for derogatory comments against trans kids that came to light mid-election.
Leader Danielle Smith said Jennifer Johnson 'used offensive language and a vile analogy when speaking about the 2SLGBTQIA+ community for which she has apologized.'
The Alberta NDP recently released an audio recording of Jennifer Johnson, the Lacombe-Ponoka candidate for the United Conservative Party, speaking at a forum back in September.
CALGARY Premier Jason Kenney said again Thursday the province is looking at using a regional approach to reopening after 17 UCP MLAs put their names behind a letter admonishing the return to Phase 1 this week. Kenney made the comments at a press event Thursday, one day after 15 UCP MLAs signed a letter and two more MLAs later added their names questioning the return to Phase 1 of reopening. The letter said the province should adopt a regional approach. Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes told CTV News that some parts of the province, including the area he represents in southeast Alberta, should have been moved to Step 3 this week, rather than back to Step 1.
