Premier Jason Kenney kicked off a campaign to lure skilled workers from Toronto and Vancouver as he doubled down on his criticism of a so-called Alberta sovereignty act pitched by one of the candidates running to replace him.

Kenney held a news conference today to announce the United Conservative government’s plans to start recruiting workers to come to Alberta as the provincial economy grows.
