In Alberta, opposition parties have said the recent events have shown the Notley government's efforts to win social licence for pipelines through its sweeping climate change plan aren't working.

"That's just wrong and its also quite silly," Notley told reporters at McDougall Centre Tuesday morning.

"It is crystal clear that there is no appeasement of these groups. There will be no "social license" gained by taxing Albertans," said Jean.

Canadian First Nations and U.S. tribal communities are stepping up their fight against Alberta's oilsands industry, vowing to stop the development and distribution of the province's crude across the continent.

Indigenous leaders from nearly 100 aboriginal communities in Eastern and Western Canada and a few in the United States, including Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North and South Dakota, signed a treaty Thursday in Montreal and Vancouver.

"We're not proposing to destroy Alberta," said Simon. "We're trying to help it, we're trying to help the country and we're trying to help this planet."

While the goal is to remain peaceful, he said all options are on the table.

"They should know that we never hesitated to taking our fight to the streets," added Ghislain Picard, chief of the Assembly of First Nations of Quebec and Labrador.

"We have a few hundred years of experience in making sure that our voice is heard."

With the rumours running around that Kinder Morgan should be approved by the end of the year, I think Jean is off-base here.
