Kenney has framed the vote not as a yes-no referendum on whether he has done a good job, but rather as a takeover bid by fringe extremists and hate pedlars. His critics, including a number of his own backbenchers, say it’s about more than that. The party said it couldn’t logistically handle so many people. “I was involved with (former prime minister) Stephen Harper in helping to create the merger that led to the Conservative Party of Canada and a decade in office federally,” said Kenney. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein left soon after receiving 55 per cent of the vote in 2006. Of that voting pool, Kenney said, a significant number signed up to cause harm to the big-tent conservative party he helped construct from the merger of the Progressive Conservative and Wildrose parties in 2017.

Canada exports around 3.8 million bpd of oil to the United States and until recently faced pipeline constraints that left crude bottlenecked in Alberta. U.S. President Joe Biden revoked a key permit for the Keystone XL pipeline in early 2021, infuriating the Canadian energy industry. Canada could add over a million barrels per day (bpd) of oil export capacity to the United States over the next two years, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney told a U.S. Senate committee on Tuesday, while also calling for a new cross-border oil pipeline.

We find it inexplicable that the government of the United States has been more focused on encouraging additional OPEC production than Canadian production." Wyoming Republican John Barrasso, the ranking member on the committee, asked a series of questions about Biden's decision to kill Keystone. "It's for you to figure out what works for people in the United States," Kenney said. He was there to champion his province as a trustworthy source of energy to the U.S. and, as he said in his opening statement, pitch the idea of building a new pipeline "to achieve the dream of North American energy independence and security." Kenney said his government was perplexed that the administration's response to sky-high gas prices was to plead with OPEC to produce and sell more oil "while working to lift sanctions on dictatorships like Iran and Venezuela." Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin said Tuesday he didn't invite Jason Kenney to appear before the U.S. Senate's energy and natural resources committee to "relitigate the past" — namely, President Joe Biden's scrapping of the Keystone XL pipeline.
