Premier Rachel Notley says the do-si-do taking place between Alberta’s two right-of-centre parties hasn’t changed how the NDP plans to tackle the next election.
She says her party’s strategy won’t change if longtime Alberta MP Jason Kenney succeeds in making willing dance partners of the Progressive Conservative and Wildrose parties.
Notley made her remarks after flipping and serving up pancakes at the premier’s annual Stampede Breakfast in downtown Calgary.
The event drew a crowd even though it was raining hard.
Notley says the focus leading up to 2019 will be winning over Albertans who share the values the NDP stand for.
She says when politicians like Kenney leave Alberta and come back several years later, they run the risk of making unfortunate assumptions about what Albertans care about.
