In this episode of Politics on the Prairies, I'm joined by my friend Tyler as I give listeners the low-down on Jason Kenney. Kenney is Alberta's premier and the leader of the United Conservative Party of Alberta. A controversial figure, we dig into some of his past policy to try and understand who Kenney is and what he's done since being in office.
