How can he do that, you might be asking? Short answer: he really can’t. As U of A economist Andrew Leach has pointed out, Moe’s essentially directing the executives of SaskEnergy to break federal law and possibly land themselves in jail. And Moe doesn’t even have the legal fig leaf that the Alberta Sovereignty Act would give the Alberta premier if she decided to issue a similar order. He’s apparently just ordering some folks to ignore federal law because he says so, or so it seems. (Is this better than giving the order under the authority of the probably-unconstitutional Sovereignty Act? Not really.)

Ironically, the Alberta premier can’t issue a similar order because there’s no crown corporation responsible for selling natural gas to customers in Alberta. It’s not every day a conservative premier is secretly jealous that she doesn’t have a crown corporation handy!
