In a speech scheduled for Monday in Calgary, Pierre Poilievre, the Leader of the Opposition Conservative Party, will argue that the federal government is responsible for the rising separatist sentiment in Alberta. He plans to encourage Canadians to 'listen carefully' to the grievances of those expressing a desire for independence. Poilievre's speech, titled 'A Stronger Alberta Within a United Canada,' aims to rally provinces to collaborate in reforming laws and regulations perceived as hindering their growth. He will assert that Alberta does not require separation but rather a shift in federal policies. Key points he intends to address include the unblocking of resources and pipelines, respect for firearms owners, stricter measures against crime, and tax relief for citizens. Poilievre will also advocate for the elimination of the industrial carbon tax, arguing that these changes would benefit all provinces. His speech is set to take place at noon MT, with further details expected to follow.
