Kenney calls for fair treatment of Alberta at Premiers meeting

Jul 11, 2019 | 5:25 PM

SASKATOON – Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he still believes national unity is under threat despite collaborative discussions with the country’s other leaders.

Kenney says Albertans feel frustrated and alienated because the province contributes billions of dollars to Canada’s economy but is blocked by others from developing its resources.

He says he doesn’t think Albertans want to separate, they just want fairness.

The premiers spoke in Saskatoon after wrapping up a two-day annual meeting.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, who hosted the gathering, says he believes Ottawa’s energy policies and its carbon tax are a threat to national unity.
