Horgan spoke with Kenney this morning, and said he looks forward to working with him.
Regardless of political stripes, he says he’s willing to work with the new Premier.
“The colours of the uniforms are not important to me. I need to work with whoever wants to work with me,” he says.

“I did joke with Premier Kenney that at the rate things are going, I will be the senior statesman, and I’m not at the two-year mark. So there’s been a significant turnover at Premiers’ table, and that’s not lost on the Prime Minister, I’m sure.”
During the campaign, Kenney vowed that one of his first acts in office would be to cut oil exports to B-C in retaliation for opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
