OTTAWA – After a fractious election campaign, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s next steps must involve focused action on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and reconfiguring the equalization formula in Alberta or risk further alienation from the West, says a political strategist in Saskatchewan.
Earnscliffe’s Jamie Miley said if Trudeau, instead, chooses to approach the concerns of the Western provinces and the ensuing regional divide with symbolic gestures – like hosting more meetings in Saskatchewan and Alberta and using them as political talking points – versus making substantive policy changes, it will make matters “far worse.”
“If it looks superficial, which is something that the prime minister has been accused of, this will get smashed back at him very quickly,” said Miley in an interview with CTVNews.ca.
