Alberta Tory leadership candidate Jason Kenney fined for breaking campaign rules
EDMONTON — Alberta’s Progressive Conservatives have fined leadership candidate Jason Kenney $5,000 for breaking the rules by showing up and running a hospitality suite near a meeting where voting delegates were being selected.
“I hope that this is a clear message not just to (Kenney) but to all candidates that they need to raise the bar higher,” PC party president Katherine O’Neill said Monday.
“The party expects more (and) the province expects more.”
She also announced a new investigation into recent actions of a Kenney supporter alleged to have handed out lists of Kenney delegate slates to vote for at a selection meeting in the Spruce Grove-St. Albert constituency.
