The federal government comports itself like a petro-state, toadying up to oil companies, while Quebec, virtuously, produces planes and trains but no gas-powered automobiles, says the Bloc Québécois.
“Since it is a petro-state, Ottawa runs from failure to failure with inconsistent policies that spare oil companies in the West,” the platform reads.
But as much as it is anti-Ottawa, the Bloc is perhaps the most explicitly anti-Alberta it has ever been in its history. While Alberta and Quebec have in the past worked on shared concerns, the Bloc in its 2019 iteration sees little but Alberta taking Quebec’s money while having designs on its green fields and pastures for dirty pipelines.
