FIRST READING: Alberta really, really doesn't like Jason Kenney anymore
The federal Liberal government goes to bat for a pipeline (seriously)

Premier Jason Kenney has become one of the most hated leaders in modern Alberta history, according to a new poll by ThinkHQ. More than 77 per cent of Albertans gave the thumbs-down to his leadership, putting him in roughly the same territory as Alison Redford just prior to her 2014 resignation. With COVID-19 hospitalizations now reaching an all-time high in Alberta, Kenney is currently getting hate from the right for inaugurating a system of vaccine passports, and from the left for pursuing a months-long strategy of strenuously avoiding even moderate measures for contract tracing and monitoring.
The Canadian Energy Centre is the fancy name for Kenney’s government-funded “energy war room.” The centre just released a report tracking the quantities of foreign oil that Canada has imported since the 1980s, with the implication being that Canada should buy more of its own supply rather than __. They found that Quebec is the largest single buyer of foreign oil in Canada, with the average Quebec household consuming roughly $1,576 of imported petroleum per year.
