Show Notes
Follow up to last Sunday's RGS when Scott Moe joined us and challenged, more directly than previously, the Trudeau government as increasing the East/West divide, based on an op-ed by Yukon University professor Ken Coates and did not resist when I asked the premier if his fellow premiers across Canada have had it with the PM.
Guest: Professor Ken Coates. We spoke with KC for 10 minutes last Sunday, but there's much more to be unpacked. Does Professor Coates see any parallels between the development of the politically successful Quebec sovereignty movement and what is developing in Western Canada. I related how I was present in Quebec when Rene Levesque gave personality to the Quebec sovereignty issue and was there for the election of the first PQ MNA's. I asked Ken Coates if he sees parallels in the West. His response: "They are fighting mad. Imagine this scenario. The Liberals appoint a Minister of Industry with a mandate to reduce emissions produced by manufacturing and processing. The focus would be on manufacturing and processing plants in Ontario and Quebec. Can you imagine such a thing?"
