NEMETH: Ottawa’s leaked EU deal strangles Alberta’s resources and sovereignty with regulations

The federal government is quietly bargaining away provincial resource rights in backroom deals with Brussels.

Canadians are being sold “associate membership” in the European Union without being told what it means or what Ottawa has already offered Brussels in the backrooms. A recent Nanos poll found significant support for the idea among Canadians. Were respondents shown the leaked document Ottawa drafted for discussions with Brussels, given a clear definition of associate membership, or reminded that Canada already has comprehensive trade and defence agreements with the EU? No.
