Well, that’s one way to start the New Year. Send out a second-tier minister, working in concert with another second-tier minister, Seamus O’Regan, and an NDP consort, Charlie Angus, to announce a peremptory, arbitrary, unnegotiated shutdown of a greatly productive province’s principal industry.
That would be Alberta. None of the three national-economy-rearrangers — Wilkinson, O’Regan or Angus — represents a district in the province they are insouciantly planning to remake.
I do not have the official title of this about-to-be presented legislation. In the happy event it has not yet been determined, I can offer this perfectly realistic one: An Act to Inspire, Lubricate, and in all other manners Facilitate the Separation of Alberta from Confederation .
If I were of a darker turn of mind, which happily I am not, I would propose an even more telling label: An Act Responding to the Province which had the temerity to send a Truckers Protest to Ottawa.
