Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced a major initiative to address the provinces economic woes brought on by the collapse of the oil and gas sector and the impact of the pandemic.
His announcement of a cabinet shuffle will achieve instant results - new names on the unemployment roles and confusion among the electorate. His brainchild however was the newly-created Ministry of Jobs, Economy and Innovation. It replaces the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism which appears similar to replacing a bowl of Macintosh apples with a bowl of Spartan apples.
Kenney reported, “There will be more changes coming. We are headed on the road to economic recovery.” Insiders are anticipating that the Department of Education will soon be replaced by the Ministry of Books and Learning and Alberta Health Services will be rebranded the Ministry of Infections, Injections, and Internment.
When asked his opinion on the proposed new hyperlink railway proposed to link Edmonton to Calgary with a 1000km/hr train, Kenney responded, “Where is Calgary?”
