Former MLA Gordon Kesler – one of the founders of the Alberta independence movement – has launched a blistering attack on Premier Jason Kenney, calling him a “coward” in his dealings with the federal government..Kesler won the Olds-Didsbury riding in 1982, representing The Western Canada Concept Party. He became the first independence-seeking politician elected outside Quebec since the 1870s..“As a former MLA, I’m calling you out. You sir are a COWARD of the first order,” Kesler wrote in a Facebook post..“You swore an other to defend and protect the Province of Alberta along with it’s (sic) people. You have failed miserably..“Obviously, like most leftist politicians taking the oath was simply a stepping stone to power and control over people’s lives..“The citizens under your jurisdiction are under assault and your lack of leadership is on full display, as you cower and pass the buck.”.Kesler wrote if Kenney doesn’t have the “courage” to stand up to the feds, he should step aside..“Your first move should be to immediately instruct the RCMP to cease and desist from harassing and arresting Albertans. Next, you should send them packing back to Ottawa,” he wrote..“As the saying goes; get behind or just get the hell out of the way.”.The attack comes in the middle of a bad week for Kenney..Former Wildrose leader Brian Jean unleashed a barrage against him and Cypress-Medicine Hat UCP MLA Drew Barnes urged him to hold an independence referendum as part of the election in 2023..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com.TWITTER: Twitter.com/nobby7694
