Kenney adviser calls it quits: Matt Wolf leaving UCP government

Wolf responded to the Twitter rant on his government account

CALGARY — An often outspoken member of Jason Kenney's government will be leaving his post next week, CTV News has confirmed.

According to the premier’s office, Matt Wolf, the executive director of issues management for the premier, provided notice that he would be resigning several months ago.

Wolf was a controversial figure in the Kenney government and was once the premier’s chief of staff. At times, he used social media to taunt those who opposed Kenney government policies.

"His last week in the office will be next week," said Christine Myatt, Kenney's director of strategic planning.

Wolf had been an adamant supporter of Kenney's policies and even attacked opponents of the government's COVID-19 strategy on multiple occasions.
