Danielle Smith sends a letter urging Trudeau to drop the Just Transition proposal and rename and revise it
, who won support from United Conservative Party members by treating the federal government as an adversary, on Thursday deployed a more diplomatic approach: writing a letter to the Prime Minister arguing the environment would be better protected if Canada increased its fossil fuel output.
“Prime Minister, we are at a crossroads in Alberta’s relationship with the federal government,” Ms. Smith cautioned, adding she would rather work “in partnership” with Ottawa than “continue with the endless court challenges, legislation to protect jurisdictional rights and inflammatory media coverage over our disagreements.”
If these points are not incorporated into the federal legislation, it will face “irrepressible opposition from Alberta,” Ms. Smith said. Natural Resources Canada did not respond to a request for comment. Ottawa is still consulting with provinces, territories and Indigenous peoples on the Just Transition proposal.
