Wow. Wow. Kenney just appointed perennial backbencher, bible-thumper, and man who clearly cuts his own hair, Ron Orr to be the Minister of Culture. The only highlight of his 6-year career is that he warned that legalizing marijuana would lead to a communist revolution.
The reason I'm posting this in the economics thread and not the politics thread is because the Alberta Recovery Plan(TM) - remember that?!?!? - listed culture and tourism (separately) as two of the eight priority economic sectors for growth. In fact, it listed them above technology and finance.
If you needed more evidence that the Alberta Recovery Plan was just a hastily assembled PR campaign to shore up Kenney's approval numbers, this is it. Leela Aheer turfed for criticizing Kenney over the sky palace. Ron Orr put in for steadfast loyalty and stated belief that Kenney is "the leader God raised up for these times".
