Premier Jason Kenney may need more than “baboon’s blood” to cool the simmering trouble in Alberta and his UCP caucus. COVID-19 cases are still high, and the premier’s popularity is low.

Kathleen Petty takes a closer look at another dramatic week in Alberta politics with three people who’ve been on the inside when “toil and trouble” were at full boil: former Alberta cabinet minister and member of the Fair Deal Panel Donna Kennedy-Glans, former senior adviser to prime minister Stephen Harper Ken Boessenkool and Stephen Carter, former chief of staff to premier Alison Redford.
