Alberta’s Premier, Alison Redford, stated on Monday that the comments made by Opposition leader, Thomas Mulcair, in the U.S. last week were “ridiculous” and “unhelpful.” Redford has become another leader, among many other, to denounce Mulcair’s visit to D.C., and labeled it as a poison dart aimed at the heart of Canada’s ongoing efforts to convince U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
Mulcair previously asserted that he does not intends to provide advice to Obama, in fact, he claims that it is completely up to the Americans to make up their own mind on the project, and which is something not on the priority list of NDP. However, Redford mentioned during an interview with The Canadian Press, that Mulcair should make it a priority. Reford highlighted that it is not only an American pipeline but also extremely vital to the economy of Canada. She pointed out that “Thomas Mulcair comes to Alberta and makes nice, he pretends to be a national leader who cares about environmental policy but understands importance of the oilsands and talks about economic growth and then goes to other places and says different things and that’s not what a national leader should do.”
Mulcair was visiting the capital of the U.S. capital last week, where he condemned Canada’s environmental record, while alarming that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline will cost 40,000 jobs to Canada. Redford stated that “to be spreading information that isn’t true with respect to any pipeline clouds the water, confuses the conversation, gets people unnecessarily emotional about the issue.”
