There it is in writing, finally, the promised bill that lifted Danielle Smith to the premier’s office, the one that empowers Alberta to defy federal laws.
The bill will give the UCP government authority to defy not only federal laws deemed unconstitutional, but to refuse to enforce any laws, policies or actions that are considered harmful to the province.
The initial points of combat are already mapped out. Alberta will almost certainly refuse to obey the federal cuts in fertilizer use. The province will likely act against further “arbitrary” emissions cuts. The confiscation of firearms is an obvious flashpoint.
