Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called out Canada's Prairie premiers on Wednesday for "trying to elevate fears that have absolutely no grounding in truth" over what the federal government's intentions are around provincial resource rights.

He also accused them of not taking the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) seriously.

The prime minister's remarks come on the heels of Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson issuing a joint statement on Tuesday calling on Trudeau to set the record straight about whether the federal government was "considering stripping resource rights away from the three Prairie provinces."

Yep, the feds are coming after provincial resource to uplift the wealth and give it to Quebec.

Instead of saying his position, he just points fingers. Of course they’re coming after the resources even harder than they already have. That’s no secret.

Is he still PM?

I thought he was just starring in Bud Light commercials these days.

[Jonty30]

As long as he doesn’t hurt Toronto and Vancouver and Quebec, he can be PM for life. Canada is terrible that way.

Must be an election coming, turn on the envy machine against western Canada. Politics as usual in Canada.

If you folks decide on partition, let us know, we’ll part too in the same way.

...because Castreau knows so much about resource management.

And Ontario, the big dog.

Agreed. But they will have to make their socialized medicine state run. They won't give that up.

"He also accused them of not taking the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) seriously."

The accusation of racism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Well, commies are really good at stealing resources if that counts as management.

Is “Prairie Premiers” CanadaSpeak for "unsophisticated mouth breathers"?

Hullo Justine - you narcissistic mincing faggot, remember this: When the Quebecois threatened to rip up your Northern economic Dependency - you did Meech Lake. When we Americans had a plausibly similar difference of opinion, we did Antietam. Bear that in mind when you and the The First Diaper are swapping knobbies, you little degenerate.
