Why are you conflicted? Im seeing huge reductions to industrial carbon price because the feds refused to reign in provinces that violate federal law and then reward them for violating those laws. Now we have even weaker climate policy.
The lesson is obvious to provinces: dont follow federal laws you dont agree with. I guess thats why heslthcare privatization has been allowed to progress so far across the country.
I think it’s perfectly understandable to at least attempt to rein in an increasingly rogue province by making a mutually acceptable deal. I don’t believe it will help, or at least not much, but I can understand the attempt.

That said, I can’t really disagree with this point.
Ultimately, the proposed pipeline still seems to be contingent on finding a private entity that thinks it’s a good investment, and I’m not at all convinced that that will ever happen. We’ll see.
Not sure why any oil company would even want to make a big investment in Alberta while the UCP is in power. The Smith Government is willing to flaunt federal laws, First Nations treaties, the Constitution and their own laws as they feel like. I’d think competent CEOs would see that as a ripe environment for getting bound up in lawsuits and court cases, not for capital investment.
