It appears Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is angling to challenge Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s Sovereignty Act.
Smith introduced the Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act on Tuesday with the goal of empowering Alberta to mix federal legislation that is harmful to their province, but the following day Trudeau said he’s taking nothing off the table when it comes to potentially confronting the issue.
Meanwhile, a former CRTC vice-chair is criticizing a bid by Global News to gain access to secure payroll rebates via tax measures, warning that it could make media companies dependent on the Liberal government remaining in power.
Also, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is accusing the federal government of preferential treatment for Quebec when it comes to Justin Trudeau’s federally-mandated carbon taxes.
