TORONTO - The premiers of Canada’s provincial and territorial governments began meeting on Monday to discuss their demands to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new government as frustration simmers in the Western oil patch.
The sense of western alienation stems from the economic difficulties these provinces have faced since the 2014/15 global oil price crash, which has driven unemployment up higher than the national average. “We’re focusing on three or four solid things,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said going into the meeting. “Stay tuned.”Right-leaning premiers are on the offensive, taking up the western cause in the hopes it will help them defeat Trudeau in the next election, which could be only a couple years away since the Liberals fell short of winning a majority of seats in parliament.
