Canadian Tax Payers Federation Petition ...



Tell Ottawa to get out of the way of the energy sector

To Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

Families who make their living in the energy sector are desperate, but they’re desperate to get back to work and earn a living – they don’t want to depend on temporary bailouts from Ottawa. They need the federal government to stop blocking pipelines, stop passing legislation that undermines Canada’s competitiveness and stop the carbon tax.

Instead of offering $1.6 billion in corporate welfare, Canada’s energy sector needs Ottawa to get out of the way so they can get back to work.

We the undersigned call on the federal government to get out of the way and let the Canadian energy sector get to work.

Problem is 2 fold: First, Quebec is entitled to 25% of seats in parliament which is half way to a majority. This is why Trudeau panders to Quebec, and Scheer must do the same and promise even more to Quebec than Trudeau if he wants to be PM. This is why Trudeau stated "Canada belongs to Quebec". Second, the Federal Gov't civil service & Canadian courts are all now seeded with socialist and communist climatistas. The take over is complete. Voting out the ND & Liberal politicians doesn't help.

The only way forward is Alberta independence. I see 3 steps to get there:


1)elect UCP
2)referendum on renegotiating equalization. Trudeau must respond as this is a constitution right of each province), and if Ottawa and Quebec balks af a new deal that is fair for all Canadians
3)referendum on declaration of Alberta independence


Straw polls indicate a vote on independence would easily pass in Alberta. I can only imagine the outrage in Alberta and Saskatchewan if and when Trudeau, Ottawa and Quebec balk at renegotiating transfer payments.
