Mr Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP) in Alberta alleges that Prime Minister Trudeau (PMJT) laid out some “smears against construction workers” but that’s not true!
PM Trudeau took the high road by not calling out the misinformation of a Conservative plant who had to read her question from a note. The experience she related was singular, and not shared by the women who were abused.
Gender-based impacts are well-known and a disservice to women to dismiss them.
Kenney is projecting: smearing is on him.

UCP/CPC both have a political agenda in misrepresenting what PMJT says, but this one is the most egregious of all b/c women matter!
