“One of the things that we know is that decisions are being made in Ottawa that impact our province in particular,” Danielle Smith said Monday at the completion of a two-day Canadian premiers meeting at the Halifax Convention Centre.
Smith said her No. 1 concern has to be a reliable and affordable power grid for her province “and we have to be able to bring on more base-load power and now, because of the uncertainty, that’s not happening, so that’s what we’re trying to do, is educate the federal politicians about why it is they need to make a change.”
A woman’s voice in one radio ad warned that Ottawa's proposed regulations will make electricity undependable and “the things you rely on won't work when needed," including hot water, computers, washers and dryers, televisions, lights, heat and mobile phones.
The Alberta premier also wanted to allay concerns about what a potential pullout from the Canada Pension Plan by her province could mean to the rest of the country. Discussions about leaving the Canada Pension Plan “is just the natural conclusion to ask our people if that is the direction they want to go in after talking about it for 25 years,” she said.
