The UCP gvt is keeping its commitment to reducing red tape by *checks notes* stopping any entity regulated by the province from entering into, renewing or extending a deal with Ottawa without approval from the province. theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… #ableg #cdnpoli

I am no lawyer but it looks like a loss for the MNA and a win for the othe Mètis organization in the province.

$120,000 truck and trailer protesting the carbon tax and freedom on the side of an Alberta highway during working hours. Seems like you’re doing ok with money and freedom. 🤡
