Smith is increasingly turning to Quebec for tips on how to legislatively fortify her own province against what she considers jurisdictional intrusions from the federal government
Quebec has emerged as one of Alberta ’s key allies in its fight against what the Western province considers inappropriate meddling in its affairs by Ottawa, Premier Danielle Smith told The Globe and Mail’s editorial board.
Tension between Alberta and Ottawa centre on the province’s oil and gas industry and its carbon emissions, but stretch as far as bickering over funding for school lunches. Ms. Smith has described Ottawa’s desire to negotiate with cities over housing as the last straw. And so rather than just decrying special treatment for Quebec, Ms.
“The problem is the federal government blunders into our area, doesn’t talk to us, and then comes forward with half-baked proposals,” she said. Ottawa then pays “only a fraction” of the costs and expects the provinces to pick up the rest of the tab. “We’re just not going to do that.”
