The new leader of the NDP was on CBC Radio's The House trying to play Alberta against the east. More to the point he was playing a province where the NDP will win a seat or two against the provinces that are its base.
On Saturday's program he said that the high loonie was caused by Alberta's oil sands and it was hurting Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Yes that old argument. A strong currency equals a weak country. That old fallacious argument I may add.
Postmedia reports that "...Alberta Environment Minister Diana McQueen, who was also on the show, said Mulcair was being divisive in his treatment of the oilsands. She called it 'old-style politics; trying to pit one part of the country against another.'"
She was gracious. He is pitting us against them. Except this is Canada. We are all us.
Shame on you Thomas Mulcair, shame.

No shame, just one of the consequences of foreign control of a strategic resource other countries have had the wisdom and political fortitude to nationalize.
