Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said he won’t apologize for calling out “divisive voices” on Friday, as he addressed a leaked audio recording in which he took aim at so-called “lunatics” who are “trying to take over the asylum.”
CBC News reported Thursday that Kenney said the United Conservative Party is under siege from extremist elements, including homophobes and religious bigots, that are seeking a hostile takeover by toppling him in an upcoming leadership review.
The private remarks he made to his staff were secretly recorded earlier this week, then leaked to CBC News.
