You want change, have transparency and bind it with financial consequences. Here is one idea. Alberta sends roughly $13 billion a year in net fiscal transfers to the rest of the country. The largest recipient is Quebec, followed by Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and, to a much smaller extent, Ontario. What if accepting its share of that transfer came with a simple condition: provinces must publicly affirm that they will not oppose Canadian resource development, including pipelines or other infrastructure that may require right-of-way access through their jurisdiction. If a province chooses to object, it would forfeit its share of those funds, which would then be redistributed among the provinces that are prepared to support national resource development. Then watch what would happen. Think this would work?
