One poll he cited in Ottawa indicates up to half of his province’s citizens support the concept of secession from the Canadian federation
OTTAWA — Alberta’s newly anointed premier, Jason Kenney, returned to Ottawa to start the fight against the federal government he promised during the recent provincial election campaign.
Section 92 is clear that provinces retain exclusive jurisdiction over the development, conservation and management of non-renewable resources. The new premier cited a poll that indicated as many as 50 per cent of his province’s citizens support the concept of secession from the Canadian federation He admitted many people were probably blowing off steam when they said they wanted to leave Canada, but he said there is a growing crisis of national unity that will be exacerbated by C-69 and the related proposed tanker ban, C-48.But, in part, they are furious because politicians like Kenney have incited and polarized opinion by pointing to enemies at every turn. In his testimony at committee, he lambasted U.S.
It is a flawed bill — injecting the use of “Indigenous knowledge,” gender-based analysis and other social outcomes into the environmental assessment of large resource projects. It is not popular with industry — Rich Kruger, chief executive of Imperial Oil, said in an interview the bill is likely to increase costs and timelines.
