Jason Kenney Reportedly Dropped Out Of His Philosophy Degree & Never Went Back To School

When people are in positions of power, we often wonder what sort of education or training it took to get there. For example, you may have found yourself wondering about Jason Kenney's education in the past.

The premiere's biography on the Government of Alberta's website does not mention anything about post-secondary studies or degrees.
