Can you please let me know though if other provinces have actively blocked, or the federal government has legislation or policy prohibiting economic growth in any of the following provinces or territories?
- forestry, mining, tv and film or tourism in BC?
- potash mining, uranium or agriculture in SK?
- hydroelectric or manufacturing in Manitoba?
- the automotive or financial sectors in ON?
- hydroelectric, forestry, aerospace, pharmaceuticals in QC? Dairy in QC?
- oil refining or forestry in NB?
- shipbuilding, fisheries, tourism or marine R&D in NS?
- agriculture or fish industries in PEI?
- oil and gas, fisheries or mining in Newfoundland?
- mining in the territories?
Just trying to find an analog?

Ok let's use PEI fisheries. They agreed to a Seafood Sector Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in collaboration with the federal government and indigenous groups.
If that were Alberta, we'd be throwing a fit about how it's unfair to our industry.
Newfoundland has agreed to many environmental policies, regulatory oversights, etc when it comes to their much smaller oil industry.
Smith decided to make some concessions, the feds made some as well, and we got a project started. Maybe, just maybe if we hadn't been throwing fits about everything little thing and made an attempt to work together we'd be a little further along.
I'm not saying the feds are perfect, far from it, they have many stupid restrictions and policies, but the blame is just as much on this province for acting like spoiled children as it is on inept federal governments over the last 40 years. I want to be clear, I'm not saying every federal government was willing to work well, but we'll never truly know because all we do is cry and point fingers at everyone else.
