Premier David Eby’s threat yesterday to fight against and block Alberta’s most valuable asset from export off of Canada’s northwest coast was both un-Canadian and unconstitutional. There is no universe where Alberta will tolerate being landlocked in our own country by our neighbouring province, especially when the same industry he continues to demonize has generated so much wealth for his province and the country. Pipelines and modern oil tankers are incredibly safe, and the economic and job impact of a new Alberta-BC oil pipeline, along with the new production needed to fill it, dwarfs any of Premier Eby’s nation-building projects which Alberta has been entirely supportive of. If Canada is going to become a functional country again, the Prime Minister, federal government and every province must support their fellow provinces’ initiatives to develop and export their most valuable resources. Yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney reiterated to me his commitment to reach an agreement on a pipeline, Pathways and moving on from the various destructive Trudeau-era policies by Grey Cup in November, and we’re looking forward to reaching an agreement to do exactly that by that date. Anything less would be unacceptable to the people of Alberta. The time for talking is over. It’s time to act

We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a “mistake,” who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that “some amazing patriot out there” should bail out his assailant, and accused Jews of controlling “not just the colleges – it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.” His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans – far from “working tirelessly to promote unity” as asserted by the majority in this resolution.” We can condemn his horrific assassination and the scourge of political violence without uplifting these ideas.
