Ottawa’s proposed post-pandemic “green recovery” would strike a death knell for Western Canada’s economy and must be blocked by Prairie MPs and senators, the Buffalo Project lobby group said Tuesday.
In a pair of open letters addressed to lawmakers, the group pushing for what it calls a better economic deal for the region says the Sept. 23 federal throne speech that’s to include a focus on environmental sustainability is a threat to western prosperity.
It’s calling on the premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney and Scott Moe, to join MPs and senators to push back against the “green recovery” proposal while advocating for private investment incentives and the retroactive release of withheld national transfer payments to both provinces.
