Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is taking aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ahead of this fall鈥檚 federal election.

Kenney, a former federal Conservative cabinet minister, took to Twitter over the weekend to say the people of his province have been 鈥渞ightfully frustrated鈥� by an 鈥渦nfair deal鈥� they are getting in the federation.

He says Albertans are proud Canadians and he doesn鈥檛 want to let Trudeau 鈥減ush us out of our country.鈥�

Kenney also says he would rather focus on separating Trudeau from the Prime Minister鈥檚 Office.

Trudeau鈥檚 office has not issued a statement in response to the premier but Alberta Liberal cabinet minister Amarjeet Sohi did weigh in, saying the federal government is delivering for the province despite the 鈥減remier鈥檚 rhetoric.鈥�

During his campaign to become premier, Kenney was outspoken about opposing Trudeau on issues including the carbon tax and equalization payments.
