OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s loudest critic doesn’t stand across from him in Canada’s Parliament or in the White House, but in a provincial legislature 2,000 miles away from Ottawa.
In an interview with POLITICO, Kenney conceded that "perhaps in some ways," he acts as the leader of Canada's unofficial opposition. But he was quick to point out that tensions between Alberta and Ottawa are nothing new. Trudeau's father, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, also sparked the ire of Albertans with his own energy policy intended to hand Ottawa more control of Canada’s oil.
It was a rare moment of unity in a fractious relationship. Kenney has battled Trudeau on much of his environmental agenda, including a federal carbon tax that Ottawa imposed on Alberta and a new, beefed-up environmental assessment law, both of which the province is fighting in court. He argues Trudeau has ignored the concerns of Western Canada, a claim that took on more weight after the Liberals failed to win a single seat in oil-rich Alberta and Saskatchewan in last fall’s federal election.
AndyBlatchford I live here and he does not speak for me. A despicable little man with a WannabeTrump complex.
