Jason Kenney hits reply all.
Kenney shot back a response just five minutes later, but instead of sending it only to Calkins’ office, he inadvertently sent it to everyone in the 26-member federal Alberta caucus, plus assistants: “I say a definite ‘no’ to Lukaszyk. I don’t think it makes sense to create a precedent to do a special caucus meeting for every visiting minister from the provincial government. Plus he is a complete and utter asshole.”
Adding insult to injury, Kenney also managed to misspell Lukaszuk’s name.
This is not the first time interoffice communications have proved problematic for Mr. Kenney. Nor the first time that a Conservative cabinet minister has been caught swearing about another level of government.
