CALGARY — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is expected to call for a shift in federal policies as an antidote for separatist sentiment in Alberta.
Poilievre is set to speak in Calgary later today, and an excerpt of his speech was shared with The Canadian Press.
The party leader will argue in his speech that Albertans could benefit from changes that prioritize unblocking resources, building pipelines, respecting provincial autonomy and relieving taxpayers.
His address says separatist voices do not have an issue with fellow Canadians, but rather they “have a problem with the federal government.”
