Alberta Fact Check: CPC Leader Poilievre says Albertans just want to see new policies in Ottawa

Subhead:The Conservative leader called out the Liberal government for increasing separation sentiment.# The Conservative Party of Canada kicked off a new federalist campaign to sway Albertans to choose option 1 in the referendum coming in October. Pierre Poilievre gave a speech where he laid most of the blame for the unity issue in Alberta at the feet of the Liberal government. Poilievre said “We do not need a different country in Alberta. We need different government policies in Ottawa.” Poilievre leads a political party and it's to be expected he will always be pitching the election of his party. But the theme of his speech overlooks the depth and reality of what has caused so many Albertans to give up on the federation. It’s not just the policies of the day. It has been the futile attempts Alberta has made to garner respect and systemic change since the 1980s and that includes periods while the Conservatives held government. Yes. It’s true that the Liberal government has ceaselessly assailed Alberta’s freedoms while in office. Poilievre pointed out many good examples of that. Amazon-embed:B0GXDXZ6LX
