Premier Dennis Fentie won't support any federal politician choosing to work with whoever is in office but one of his ministers isn't following suit.

Fentie reiterated today the stance of he and his party is to not support any federal party or leadership candidate.

'For us, it really matters not who's in Ottawa,' Fentie said in an interview.

The premier said the Yukon has to work with whoever is in power.

'I think it's for the benefit of Yukon we need not get embroiled in federal politics.'

Fentie has said he would not support any candidate for the federal Conservative party leadership or, for that matter, any of the federal parties.

Fentie said a willingness to work with any party in Ottawa is partly why the Yukon Party dropped the Progressive Conservative title in 1991.

But the website of one Conservative leadership candidate shows not all of Fentie's cabinet ministers are listening to their leader.

The website for Belinda Stronach, the wealthy industrialist who's running for the new party's leadership, lists all of her endorsers for the leadership.

Under the Yukon in the listing, there is one endorsement of Stronach: Jim Kenyon, minister of the Environment.

Kenyon is not new to federal politics. He ran for the now-extinct Canadian Alliance during the last federal election in the Yukon riding, finishing third in that election.

When he entered the 2000 federal election, Kenyon said he had been interested in getting into federal politics whereas his entry into the 1999 Yukon Party leadership race was spur of the moment. The federal political arena was of more interest to Kenyon, at least at the time.

As of yet, no one has announced his or her candidacy for the Conservative nomination to run in the Yukon.

On the websites of the two other candidates for the Conservative leadership, Tony Clement and Stephen Harper, no Yukon endorsers are listed.
