Danielle Smith takes energy fight to new level with charge of Guilbeault ‘treachery’
When it comes to federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, the feeling toward him from many in the Alberta government comes close to hatred
Her statement on the outcome of COP28 in Dubai says: “Although he ultimately failed in his ambitions to include language in the final COP28 agreement regarding the elimination of oil and gas production, Albertans will not forget his continued treachery against our province and millions of other Canadians.
“We once again call on the prime minister to replace this minister immediately, as he continues to damage Canada’s international reputation and sell out the interests and livelihoods of millions of Canadians with his misguided personal obsessions.”
This goes far beyond the usual Alberta-Ottawa charges of unfriendly, unworkable policies.
Smith has slammed a door shut. Agreements on electricity regulation and emissions, unlikely at best before, now seem impossible as long as Guilbeault is around.
