Right-wing opposition sweeps to power in Canada's oil region, sets up fight with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over climate change just months ahead of a federal election by nia_eleri
CALGARY, Alberta - A right-of-center party swept to power in Canada’s main oil-producing province of Alberta on Tuesday and attacked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts to fight climate change, raising tension just months ahead of a federal election.
Kenney’s victory means governments in five of the 10 provinces now oppose Trudeau’s plans to combat global warming, which look set to be a major theme of the October election. In an often belligerent campaign, Kenney promised to stand up for Albertans against Trudeau and other politicians he said were taking the province and its oil and gas for granted.The NDP ended decades of conservative rule in Alberta when it won a 2015 election, but inherited an economy hammered by a global crude price crash.
“Climate change is real and must be fought,” Trudeau told a town hall in Cambridge, Ontario on Tuesday before the Alberta results were announced.
