Jason Kenney Quotations

We're going to be very deliberate about this. We're not in the game of running a smear campaign against individuals, but we do believe accountability is a central issue.

Some assets were impacted for six to nine months from Ivan last year because things like underwater landslides affected pipelines once the storm had passed. Shell is taking the brunt of the storm this time.

If that is what the algorithm shows, I think it needs quite a bit of work.

I think the operational performance is poor and the numbers are confused by restatements for accounting changes and, obviously, the tax paid in Libya.

I think the result is positive, and the dividend is a real bonus.

We've gotten to a level where the price is beginning to impinge on economic growth. People are starting to worry about a slowdown.

The government has not decided whether there will be or not be direct compensation to descendants.

Total is notorious for just doing well. When you do well all the time you have to do fantastic to get a reaction from the market on your results. Total will be happy just doing well this time.

Drastic measures were needed to anticipate the erosion of their stocks. Latin America is a weight on the stock at every turn.

Albertans are pro-immigration; they're also pro-integration. In my years in this province I cannot recall more than a handful of expressions of xenophobia or nativism that I've encountered.
