Earlier today a video was being passed around from YouTube. It had no picture but purported to be Wendy Adam speaking with someone from the Highwood area about Jeff Callaway’s leadership bid for the United Conservative Party. I listened to it right before dinner and then went back to the link after. It was “unavailable”. I tried another link. It was “unavailable”.
The link was a recorded conversation between a man and a woman talking about Jeff Callaway’s entry into the UCP leadership race. “Jeff’s going to announce Thursday” the woman’s voice said. She goes on to say that she spoke with Kenney about her decision to be on Callaway’s campaign. “He wasn’t pleased” she admits. “It can’t just be Jason and Brian because then it’s just Wildrose against PC.” She says this a few times during the conversation. “And we have another person in the race” she adds.
The male voice pipes up; “so then there’s two Wildrose and two PC.” “Well” the female voice says slowly, “Schweitzer isn’t really…” and trails off, “anything” the male voice finishes. “He’s more liberal” adds the female voice. “Liberal, or like he should be in the Alberta Party,” he began; “you know Joel Windsor? He ran for the Alberta Party here in 2015? He couldn’t stop talking about Schweitzer.”
And they continued on about Schweitzer for a brief moment. “Callaway can say things about Brian that Jason can’t and he’s willing” she told him. “So he’s going to be the kamakazi candidate” he asks. “Yes” she replies.
This is from memory. The recording was approximately 7 -10 minutes long and it was more difficult to hear her than him. I have no idea who was recording and if the other knew they were being recorded.
I cannot verify the authenticity of this recording. I cannot verify who the male voice is nor that the female voice belongs to the person named. Anyone with further information can certainly contact me; source confidentiality can be assured. dmaclean@coutersign.ca
