thread_title:  Parliamentary debate? 

message: On March 15, 2010, an antagonistic site suggested with screenshots that this page has been vandalized to remove controversial and critical content.  A cursory review of the history seems to confirms this finding.  
Suggest restoring content, and locking page if vandalism continues.
Citizenship Minister's Wikipedia Site Edits Section on Gay Rights, Removes Lost Canadians
--MrOakes (talk) 03:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I can see, the information can't stay in the form you suggest. I've reverted the latest re-addition. It is unnecessarily prejudicial and editorial in tone. Perhaps the information can be included with more neutral wording. Do you have any suggestions? Franamax (talk) 03:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

text: "Unnecessarily predudicial and editorial in tone" they are facts not opinon, that's why they are citied. Most of the citations come from Canadian government websites, did you even check the links or just erase the paragraph?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.92.135.204 (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "He fails to acknowledge that most of these people have applied and have a strong case" is an unsourced opinion. As for the rest, the tone could be improved, but I don't think it justifies removal.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 19:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potential Vandalism 

message: Yesterday I noticed that this article contained a reference to Mr Kenney's willingness (as an opposition MP) to pay respects to a deceased Chinese dissident. This was fine but I noticed that this went on to mention that Mr Kenney's actions were criticized by then-PM Paul Martin. I removed this second sentence as it failed to note that government members have different obligations than opposition members. I also noted that since entering government neither Kenney nor other government members have carried out a similar act. To my mind the original poster's intention was to set up a partisan straw man in which Kenney and the Conservatives favour human rights while Martin and the Liberals do not. Within six hours this had been reverted with the minimalist explanation "it's important to show the other side to this". I'd be curious to know if others think that this kind of highly selective framing actually amounts to "showing the other side" of an argument. ˜˜˜˜  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drinkingbreaker (talk • contribs) 13:02, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I may have jumped the gun on that revert without looking too closely. This isn't an issue that I'm too familiar with, so feel free to switch it back, unless anyone else disagrees. MitchellDuce (talk) 17:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kenney vs Paul Martin in China 

message: My revisions were mainly aimed at ensuring that this section did not retroactively rewrite Kenney's fervent pro-war stance as being merely anti-Saddam when it was in fact an open echo of the full set of argumentation coming out of the Bush Administration (WMDs, freedom and pan-Arab democratization, regional security, anti-terrorism), along with his dire warnings that the sky would fall if Canada didn't join the coalition. While I think my edits were fine, the subsequent edits also serve this purpose. Drinkingbreaker (talk) 17:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kenney on the merits and fallout of the Iraq war 

message: When I stumbled across Wikipedia's article on Facebook about Jason Kenney, it appears that he's listed as being a "Musician/Band." I'm not sure if this is an error or vandalism, but it should be corrected.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.142.244 (talk) 21:34, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Musician/Band? 

message: The sentence "He dropped out before completing his undergraduate degree to begin work in Saskatchewan provincial politics." was removed with the explanation that it is contentious. What is contentious about it?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 20:22, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Dropping out of school is not generally perceived positively, so it would be contentious information. That is not to say the info can't be included, but you would need to produce a reliable source, per WP:BLP and WP:RS. 50.100.156.249 (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you saying that he didn't drop out, or that that you think the wording should be more neutral?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 20:33, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if he did or not, and it is likely most readers do not either, which is why a reliable source is needed; see WP:V. I don't see an issue with the wording. 50.100.156.249 (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: OK.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 20:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I put in a verifiable source for this fact, an article in the Vancouver Sun. The uncompleted degree was also reported in the Toronto Star. I am not sure why his high school hockey team deserves a mention. Was he on it? Letterofmarque (talk) 02:21, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:   Dropped out to begin work in Saskatchewan provincial politics. 

message: Section states that Kenney was at University of San Francisco, left, then worked for Ralph Goodale in 1988.  Problem:  He was still a student in SF in 1990, or at least CNN thought so at the time.

I haven't the time or energy to rewrite this at the moment, but if someone wants to get on it, the salient facts are only a web search away.  For that matter, a mention of his rabidly anti-choice stance (the subject of the CNN report) would not be out of place.  Even objectively, how many Canadian MPs have draughted petitions that went to the Vatican?  The video link can also serve as a ref.  You're welcome. HuntClubJoe (talk) 09:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Early life and career 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Jason Kenney's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "CP_CBC_20190620":
From Public Sector Wage Arbitration Deferral Act: 
From Premiership of Jason Kenney: 
Reference named "AB_assembly_20190620":
From Environmental issues in Alberta: 
From Premiership of Jason Kenney:

message: I suggest you add a brief one line sentence on his views on LGBT and Abortion on the introduction of the article.SweetMilkTea13 (talk) 17:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't oppose this; in general, I think a brief one-line sentence would be appropriate (with more detail later on). However, I do object to using www.albertandp.ca as the citation there. The Alberta NDP are the Official Opposition and so cannot be expected to be unbiased in this regard. I want to be clear, this is my only objection. A different source meeting WP:RS and I'd have no objection. --Yamla (talk) 18:24, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
