Kenney hosts western premiers in Edmonton

Jun 27, 2019 | 6:26 AM

EDMONTON- Premier Jason Kenney is hosting his first western premiers conference since his United Conservatives won the provincial election in April.

It will also be the first time Kenney has spoken face to face with B.C. Premier John Horgan since the election.

To say that there has been friction between the two provinces over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would be an understatement.

Kenney says he will look for common ground with Horgan, noting both their economies were built on resources.

“It’s time to make the western provinces and territories the source of Canada’s strength and the inspiration for its future through economic competitiveness and enhanced market access for our resources,” Kenney said.

When reporters asked Horgan if he felt like he was going into hostile territory, he quipped that he felt like a Canucks fan going to see an Oilers game.

Manitoba’s Brian Pallister says he wants to know where his counterparts stand on Quebec’s new religious symbols law.

The law prohibits teachers, police and other public servants in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols.

Pallister says that is dangerous and un-Canadian.
