RE: Kenney says UCP riding challenger banned for ‘extreme,’ ‘hateful’ Facebook posts.I am writing this letter as I am absolutely appalled that the Premier of Alberta at a press conference personally attacked with malice Mrs. Jodie Gateman’s character and made slanderous statements about her and her family. It’s funny how when asked by the reporter about the nomination he stated he knew nothing about it. And then went on to completely gut and damage her reputation. I am shocked that a parliamentarian such as Mr. Kenney would attack another elected official. I have known Jodie for over 40 years and the statements are farthest from the truth. It is absolutely sickening that he would attack a woman of such character. Knowing her commitment to community and family I can only imagine how hurtful this is to her and her family. The premier needs to publicly apologize and retract those statements..Ian Donovan.,.Former MLA, Little Bow riding.Alberta.Want to submit a letter to the editor?
