The forerunning candidate of Liberal leadership, Justin Trudeau, affirmatively detached himself on Tuesday from the comments of his party’s natural resources critic, saying that Alberta Tories have a protectionist, provincial view of energy policies.
Trudeau was inquired during one of his campaign appearances in Edmonton about his view of alleged comments of David McGuinty, when he completely denied commenting directly on his comments. In fact he emphasized that it has always been his priority to keep national unity. Trudeau claimed that “my entire campaign has been about bringing people together, about not pitting region against region and about being a strong representative and a voice that says the same thing in Chicoutimi as we say in downtown Calgary as I’ll say in Toronto as I’ll say in B.C.” He asserted that “that’s the kind of politics that I am trying to do here.”
McGuinty reportedly said that Alberta Conservatives should “go back to Alberta” as they don’t belong in Parliament until they don’t have a more national view of the energy industry. These comments initiated outrage in Conservative Alberta, where the Liberals are working hard to try and gain even a toehold.
A Conservative party candidate in Monday’s byelection of Calgary-Centre, Joan Crockatt, issued a news release invoking the ghost of Trudeau’s father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. He said that “this anti-Alberta prejudice is the same the Liberals had when they brought in the disastrous National Energy Policy in the 1980s that did tremendous damage to our economy and cost Albertans billions of dollars.” “David McGuinty’s role as official energy critic should make every Albertan worry.”
