Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Alberta

Jason Kenney Dept: OTTAWA -- Immigration Minister Jason Kenney finally apologized Tuesday for issuing a profane insult against Alberta's deputy premier -- but only after spending much of the day refusing to acknowledge he'd done anything amiss, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The minister initially wouldn't acknowledge the email. Instead, he insisted his government wants to build and maintain ties with the government of Alberta, trying to divert attention away from what was quickly threatening to become a public-relations embarrassment for the Harper government and jason Kenney CP The apology came only after Kenney faced a barrage of opposition demands to say he's sorry for calling Thomas Lukaszuk "a complete and utter hole" in an email to Conservative MPs.
