Jason Kenney's Official Asshole Checklist

The man determining Canada's immigration policy has yet to master email.
When Jason Kenney, Canada's Immigration Minister, hit the "Reply All" button when sending out an email, he let his feelings be known about Progressive Conservative Alberta deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk. He thinks of him as "a complete and utter asshole".

That's embarrassing! Apologize and move on, right?

Nope! In parliament, Jason Kenney was asked to apologize seven times but he couldn't be bothered to do so. Then he kind of did through a statement sent by his office in what is sure to be the blueprint for sincere apologies by Conservatives.

But you're probably wondering: how do you end up on Jason Kenney's list of assholes? How do other Conservatives end up there as well? Why is there no immunity for Alberta Conservatives? Does asshole status extend to federal Conservative as well?

Well thanks to CSIS oversight being greatly diminished and Canada's own cyber security being a joke, I retrieved from the computers of Canada's spy agency the Official Jason Kenney Asshole Checklist:


·Are you a progressive? √
·Do you disagree with Jason Kenney on the topic of imigration? √
·Do you support LGBT rights? √
·Do you believe Ministers are responsible for their respective departments? √
·Is it wrong to use government resources to bolster political party fundraising? √
·Do you believe that language training, employment counselling, housing help and youth programs for immigrants is beneficial to Canada? √
·Do you think that Canada should honour its commitments of citizenship to Afghan translators that worked with Canadian Forces in Afghanistan? √


If you said "yes" to any of the preceding questions: you're an asshole according to Jason Kenney.
