'Spring is coming': Kenney, Scheer campaign at snowy Calgary rally
Joined by federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer on a snowy Thursday afternoon to rally at a southwest Calgary baseball diamond, the two outlined their vision for a political field of dreams in Alberta — led by Tories at the federal and provincial levels.
Scheer said Kenney has built a united right-wing party that welcomes “people from diverse backgrounds, from all walks of life,” including those from different faiths and ethnic backgrounds. The event marked the only occasion since the writ was dropped last month in which a federal party leader has visited Alberta to campaign alongside their provincial counterpart.
The UCP continues to lead in polls despite being plagued by controversy throughout the 28-day campaign. Various conservative candidates have come under fire for past homophobic and anti-Muslim comments, while Kenney continues to face scrutiny as the RCMP investigates concerns regarding his party leadership victory in 2017.
