Brian Jean called the current United Conservative Party leader and his inner circle "entitled and arrogant" Wednesday night as he officially started his campaign to take over the party and the premiership.

"Telling us to do one thing while they acted like the rules did not apply to them. Sitting around being served Jameson’s Whiskey on the Sky Palace balcony," Jean said.
He was referring to a scandal that saw Premier Jason Kenney apologize last June for not following his own COVID-19 rules.
Also photographed at that table was former Finance Minister Travis Toews. He launched his campaign for UCP leader last month.
Jean didn't mention Toews or Kenney by name in his speech to supporters in a west Edmonton hotel.
Instead, he made it clear who he was criticizing by recalling some of the now-outgoing premier's original promises to Albertans, like the "grassroots guarantee."
