‘All hat and no cattle:’ Trudeau says Albertans tired of being taken for granted
CALGARY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government has worked hard in the last year to show Albertans that it is listening to their concerns.
While spending Wednesday in Calgary campaigning for a pair of pending federal byelections, he noted the Liberal government has adjusted employment benefits for hard-hit resource workers, invested in infrastructure and approved an oil pipeline to new markets.
The previous federal government said for 10 years that it supported Alberta and the oilsands, but was unable to get a pipeline built to any ports, said Trudeau.
“That’s not spin. That’s not a political argument. Those are facts and everyone here in Alberta knows that,” he said.
