VOTE: Did Jason Kenney cross the line with Trudeau insults?

Alberta’s United Conservative leader Jason Kenney took a shot at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, insulting his intelligence and ability to govern the country.

In a Calgary Sun column publishing Wednesday, Kenney said Trudeau “doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.”

“This guy is an empty trust-fund millionaire who has the political depth of a finger bowl,” Kenney told the Calgary Sun’s Rick Bell. “He can’t read a briefing note longer than a cocktail napkin, O.K.”

Alberta’s UCP leader is standing by his comments, saying he was worked with “dozens of MPs in Ottawa” and Trudeau “wasn’t one of them.”

Kenney’s insults were sparked by questions about Trudeau standing up for Alberta and his government’s work on pipeline expansion in the area.

“He doesn’t support pipelines. He doesn’t believe in this project,” Kenney told the Calgary Sun. “He allows a provincial government to thumb their nose at the Constitution while doing the square root of nothing to respond.”

The prime minister, citing his father’s lessons, refused to bring himself to Jason Kenney’s level by ‘denigrating an individual’ using personal attacks after the Alberta politician said he had the “political depth of a finger bowl.”

While in New York City, the prime minister spoke to reporters about the “personal attack” by Kenny. Trudeau said he is “not going to engage” with UCP leader.

“It is not my practice, and it is not I think helpful, to make personal attacks or to denigrate an individual,” Trudeau said. “My father raised me better than that and I’m not going to engage.”
