Comment: Kenney's comment that he wants "... to avoid the kind of nasty, negative, irresponsible populism I think the Trump phenomenon represents,” goes without comment.

Kenney's accused of nasty politics in Alberta and for an absolute fact he was on the Harper team that ran viciously stupid attack ads for years against first Dion, then Ignatieff, then Trudeau.  Among many other dirty, populist, negative and irresponsible tricks.

Puff piece is a kind assessment.  For some reason the Globe has always like Kenney.  Don't know why.
