Jennifer Johnson, Lacombe-Ponoka legislature member, has been welcomed back into the United Conservative Party (UCP).

Johnson was banned in 2023 over comments where she compared the issue of transgender students in Alberta's schools to baking cookies with feces inside.

“We can be top three per cent but that little bit of poop is what wrecks it,” Johnson said in audio from a 2022 talk at the Western Unity Group in Stettler.

“This is more than a teaspoon of poop in the cookie batch, right?"

With a little bit of insider knowledge here, the caucus were threatened by Danielle Smith to kick out anyone that voted against it so it had to be unanimous. There are a lot of pissed off MLAs that were 100% against bringing this shitbird back into the fold.
