Albertans are in an owly mood at the moment, according to a new survey by Angus Reid..Its poll released Wednesday shows Albertans are dissatisfied with every single thing the UCP government is currently doing..“Alberta’s UCP, led by Premier Jason Kenney, does not receive majority commendation on a single issue,” said pollsters..“The government receives the worst assessment in the country on COVID-19 handling, with just 20% saying Kenney’s team has done well. Alberta’s challenges have been exacerbated by a lagging oil and gas sector, long the solution to any additional ills the province may be facing..“While the unemployment rate has improved throughout the year as Albertans get back to work after pandemic-related restrictions, the province still continues to suffer the worst employment outlook of non-Atlantic provinces. Few Albertans are happy with the performance of the UCP on economic issues..
