Congratulations to UCP Leader Jason Kenney on his election by the people of Alberta. I look forward to working together in the interests of both of our provinces. — John Horgan April 17, 2019However, there will no doubt be continued tension over the issue of oil pipelines, which Kenney said he plans to ensure are built.
