With a pro-oil protest humming outside, Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau told a Calgary business crowd on Wednesday that he understands how the shift to a low-carbon future can be a source of anxiety.
But he also acknowledged there is deep anxiety, growing income disparity and stress across Canada in areas like Alberta.
"There's an increasing level of frustration and it's not just impacting small pockets of our population," said Morneau.
He warned that those stresses and the parallel rise of populism across the globe constitute a threat to "our pluralistic, inclusive society."
