The Senate committee has rigged these hearings to ensure that most of the testimony comes from coastal supporters of Bill C-48
A Senate committee has ruled there will be no hearings in Alberta on Bill C-48, the atrocious tanker moratorium, which should really be called the Alberta Product Ban.
“They don’t think the people of Alberta should be heard . . . I gotta tell you, this is kind of an unprecedented stampede of stupid,” Notley said.UCP leader Jason Kenney said, “It’s ridiculous that the Liberal-appointed majority in the Senate won’t even consider hearings in Alberta, where the Trudeau government’s series of anti-oil and gas policies are having a damaging impact on jobs and communities across our province.
McCoy isn’t a committee member, so she could speak but not vote. The same is true for fierce C-48 opponent Senator Doug Black, who says: “It angers me, as a senator from Alberta, that is being hurt, which I would suggest is being targeted, that my colleagues wouldn’t say ‘I can find two days to go and listen to Albertans.’”
Bill C-48 was conceived on a whim by Justin Trudeau before he was prime minister. It’s part of the Liberal plan to ensure that nothing like Northern Gateway can ever be proposed again. The Liberals are even deaf to First Nations who want to build a northern pipeline. On Friday, a new Environics Institute survey showed that a majority of people in Alberta and Saskatchewan think we get so little out of Canada that we might as well leave.
