Clark has been peddling the idea for a while and repeated it at federal provincial meetings in Vancouver this week to craft a national plan to reduce greenhouse gases.

“Alberta has promised to get off coal, finally,” Clark said last month, referring to the climate change policy implemented by Rachel Notley’s NDP government that includes the early phase out of coal-fired electricity. “We can help them with energy so they can find a way to shut those coal plants.”

“For us it’s great,” Clark added. “That’s profit for BC Hydro, which means it’s good for ratepayers. It’s also great for Canada because it means we are supplying Alberta with our clean energy so they can get off their coal habit.”

Clark’s Liberal government has used every opportunity to poison the well, whether with Alberta’s former Tories or today’s NDP. It has opposed both Enbridge Inc.’s Northern Gateway pipeline and Kinder Morgan Inc.’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion projects, while starting the trend of laying out conditions to change its position, including getting its share of benefits.

Her government has mocked Alberta in the depth of the harshest oil price collapse in a generation, pointing out in its throne speech last month that “Alberta lost its focus … They expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending.”

Clark’s government is even blaming Albertans for driving up home prices by moving to B.C., or worsening B.C.’s homeless population.
