Kevin Libin: Calgary wants to fight back, and Notley won't throw a punch fpcomment
Here’s a sampling of the news from just one single day in Calgary this week, in case you didn’t quite catch it all: Tuesday morning, news reports relayed news of new projections by PetroLMI for 12,500 more jobs lost in the energy sector this year, on top of the more than 40,000 lost since 2014. Also, Tuesday, B.C.
Outside the hotel where that was happening, hundreds of people rallied to protest the ongoing federal squeeze on Alberta’s oilpatch, carrying signs reading “Bill C-68 will devastate Canadian families like mine.” At least that’s the message Kenney seems to be trying hard to send: That, with him as premier, Calgarians won’t have to keep taking wallop after wallop from climate-obsessed Ottawa and pipeline-hostile B.C. and Quebec, and not doing anything about it. His promise to turn off the taps of oil and gas to B.C. may sound unsophisticated. It may be economically self-harming in the short term. It may even be unconstitutional. But it’s likely infuriated Calgarians don’t care about any of that.
This looks like the mistake people are making with Kenney’s promises — whether to turn off the taps or to cancel the carbon tax , or renegotiate the unfair equalization arrangement , or to end the emissions cap Notley imposed on the oil sands.
