Talk about misinformation! WOW!
Kelly McParland: How decades of Liberal indifference created Danielle Smith
The conclusion has clearly been drawn that the only way to get Ottawa’s attention is to create a crisisnationalpost.com
Well... not entirely wrong that's for sure. It is probably true that albertans demand more respect than they SHOULD get, and get less respect than they deserve.
Many think the feds make most of their money from alberta oil, which is no where remotely close to true. A large percent think somehow that albertans pay more into "equalization". This is false, equalization is paid from taxes and they pay the same tax rate as everyone else.
At the same time they're a "have" province that draws less in gov't transfers and money overall than most provinces, the success of their people means they normally pay higher than average income taxes due to their higher than average incomes and oil is an important strategic and economic resource that keeps our dollar stronger and such.
And alberta does get dumped on. Trudeau before getting elected said westerners and albertans were unfit to lead the country and it 'doesn't work' when they're allowed to try. The NEP was a horrid disaster for a generation of younger albertans. Alberta culture and heritage is utterly ignored other than to occasionally show up at a stampede.
So... this probably is the inevitalbe result which is a shame because it's the last thing alberta needs to be focused on right now.

Ah, I think he's being disingenuous but that's just me. I don't believe a word he's saying.
I believe him. A pipeline will make the list. Where it will remain until we get a change of government.
Ontario’s Ring of Fire and Alberta’s oil sands are typically held up as two of the resource bounties that have been held back, or even thwarted, for years under the Trudeau government, whose attitude toward developing resources and infrastructure ranged at times from uninterested to hostile. The story of then environment minister Steven Guilbeault ordering a federal assessment of a planned Ontario highway because of a frog habitat served as a vivid exemplification of the atmosphere: it took a costly, time-consuming court battle to slap back another attempt by the federal government to overreach into provincial jurisdiction.
Plenty of economists agree that Canada needs to export its natural resources, as well as manufactured goods, as easily and efficiently as possible to reach its economic potential. But in many cases, those needed roads, rail lines, ports and pipelines don’t exist, or they’re antiquated and unable to compete, leaving resources in the ground and money and jobs in both native and non-native communities on the table.

“Canadian jobs are at risk. Canadians’ livelihoods are at risk and, quite frankly, the prosperity of the country is at risk,” Tim Hodgson, the federal natural resources and energy minister, said earlier this month. “We need to do things that we have not done in a long time, in time frames we have not done since the end of World War Two.”
A lot of Indigenous leaders agree with the urgency of powering up the economy.

David Chartrand, president of the Manitoba Metis Federation, told the Senate that he supports the legislation because the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump threaten the Canadian economy, which would cause hardship for his people. “We stand with you,” he said.
Natan Obed, president of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, said he’s concerned about the legislation’s ability to limit native rights but he’s also hopeful that big projects could be very good for Far North communities. “There’s an incredible opportunity to really become an Arctic nation,” Obed said.
Carney (Poilievre-lite with a Liberal twist) is now going to great lengths to show that he sees things that way too, emphasizing that Ottawa won’t deem projects to be in the national interest without first consulting with affected Aboriginal communities. The new office responsible for advancing big projects will include an Indigenous advisory council that he said will be responsible for ensuring that Aboriginal rights are respected.
After the federal bill was passed in Parliament, however, Carney acknowledged that there’s more work to be done and said that he plans to begin consultations with Indigenous groups July 17.
