Premiers reconsidering future joint meetings with Indigenous leaders
New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant calls absence a 'lost opportunity' as 3 leaders decline for 2nd time
Wednesday's Council of the Federation talks may be the last time premiers invite Indigenous leaders to their annual summer gathering, after the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the Métis National Council declined their invitation for the second year in a row.
"We changed the format a little bit this year in case this happened again," New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant told reporters before greeting his colleagues as they arrived for their first of two scenic locations for this week's talks: Pays de la Sagouine, a reconstructed Acadian village in Bouctouche, N.B.
"It's a lost opportunity nonetheless," he said.
"It's very important for us to be part of this whole collaborative relationship, because that's part of true reconciliation," Joe told reporters. The others made their choice, she said, but for her group today's issues were "far too important not to be here." She said she hoped the others would return.
Indigenous groups aren't there to compete with each other, Bertrand said. They're all working to improve lives.
"How many times can you sit in the same room with all of the provincial premiers of Canada?" Bertrand said of today's opportunity.
Speakers from the local St. Mary's First Nation and a successful local Indigenous seafood company also shared their stories, as well as researchers and academics who focus on Indigenous poverty.
Gallant said the speakers were "fantastic" and he felt the day worked quite well.
But when pressed at the closing news conference to identify some kind of a tangible outcome from the discussion, Gallant, Joe and Bertrand merely reiterated how important it was to build relationships.
3 premiers also absent
Premier after premier and official after official used the word "unfortunate" to describe the absence of the three national leaders who represent Indigenous treaty rights holders in Canada.
Gallant characterized their concerns as "issues with the setup of the meetings."
"I think there are a lot of people across the country that if they could have a few hours with all the premiers of the country they would want to take that opportunity," he said. "It's fine if they don't think it's perfect.... There'd be a way that they could still show up today and still in parallel make the suggestions and raise the preoccupations that they have."
CBC reported last week that the three leaders see themselves as a third level of government in Canada, along with the federal and provincial and territorial governments. They objected to being lumped in with organizations that represent people who do not have the same rights recognized under the Constitution.
Issues also emerged around the setting of the agenda for the meeting, with some Indigenous leaders feeling they didn't have a strong enough role in deciding what would be discussed.
Bertrand told CBC News a week ago that he was looking forward to having a chance to meet new premiers in person.
But two of the newer members of the Council of the Federation — Ontario Premier Doug Ford and B.C. Premier John Horgan — decided not to attend the first day of the meeting that's recently been focused on Indigenous issues. Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil also did not arrive with the other premiers Wednesday.
The CAP national chief also expressed frustration last week that the federal government has started to exclude his organization from its direct talks with First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders.
Issues like Indigenous child welfare are a big part of his organization's work with urban Indigenous populations, he said, and he doesn't understand why he was excluded from an emergency meeting on the topic hosted by federal minister Jane Philpott last winter.
'Find a better way'
P.E.I. Premier Wade MacLauchlan said even with the absences, he found the meeting useful because they had "serious business to do."
"It's a good opportunity to learn what other people are doing, and so I'm all ears," he said.
Northwest Territories Premier Bob McLeod, the longest-serving premier at the meeting, said that while he'd prefer that all organizations came, the meeting's format needs to be reconsidered if they refuse.
The summer gathering had been a good venue for past discussions, "especially with this period of reconciliation." But "we don't necessarily feel that the three national organizations represent our people" in the territories, he said.
"There's a lot of different options," he said. "I'll be suggesting that we take another look at it and find a better way."
Gallant acknowledged the premiers would have a conversation this week about how to proceed, and it will be up to the next host province, Saskatchewan, to decide what to do next year.
Confirmations of exactly who would attend this meeting were difficult to come by. After shaking hands with those who did come, Gallant got on the premiers' shared bus and appeared to be joking about making sure that he didn't miss anyone.
The first day of the premiers talks were held in the part of New Brunswick Gallant represents as a politician.
The Council of the Federation meeting continues Thursday and Friday on the other side of the province, in Saint Andrews.

Supporter of cross-border booze runs welcomes the 'hypocrisy' of Brian Gallant
Howard Anglin pleased with premier's apparent about-face on freer movement of alcohol
A group that supported Gerard Comeau in his losing fight to buy beer in Quebec and bring it home to New Brunswick is surprised but pleased some provinces might now favour a freer movement of alcohol.
But it's still hypocrisy for provincial governments to be suggesting change now, said Howard Anglin, executive director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation.
It was only in April that New Brunswick won its fight against Comeau in the Supreme Court of Canada.
"Yeah, that's hypocrisy."
New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant, who is hosting other premiers this week in Saint Andrews, recently said he wanted to explore the freer movement of alcohol across borders. He was responding to Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister's call for the elimination of restrictions on cross-border booze runs.
Anglin said his initial reaction when he heard the premiers' comments was, "Oh, the politicians are finally starting to get this." His second thought was that he should wait and see what the politicians actually do.
Gallant told CBC News a working group of trade ministers is expected to come back soon with recommendations and suggestions for how to make it work.
But Anglin said he doesn't expect to see anything happening soon.
"We're a long way, even crediting these provinces, we'd be a long way from actual free trade in alcohol. There'd still be a lot of restrictions, including for private businesses."
New rules, private distribution
Asked if NB Liquor would have to be dismantled if new rules were put in place, Anglin told Information Morning Fredericton he didn't think so, if the Crown corporation could be as efficient as a private distributor.
"I've lived in London in the U.K., I've lived in New York in the states. I don't think most Canadians are fully aware how anachronistic our system is."
The provinces are taking a second look at the flow of beer across provincial borders. Howard Anglin, executive director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, explains what's happening. 13:00
http://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/information-morning-fredericton/segment/15558239
Anglin compared provincial monopolies over alcohol sales to the old Soviet-style economic system.
"Every other jurisdiction in the world, from Australia to France to California, has managed to have the sale of alcohol be through normal, private means, just like any other legal goods."
Anglin said these countries don't lack for revenue, and drunkenness in the streets has not become a problem.
"Things managed to survive," he said. "And I think Canadians deserve a shot at the same selection that the private sector provides elsewhere."
Working for some provinces
Anglin said he thinks most provinces realize government-controlled distribution may be a problem but they will never admit it.
"I think they're aware of it because they see it working in other parts of the country, and I don't know what's holding them back. And I think if they're changing their tune, it's overdue and welcome."
Manitoba and Alberta are starting to make changes that haven't affected their tax revenues.
"In fact, they started to go up, probably because more people were buying more in the province," he said.
Asked what a realistic time frame would be for the changes, Anglin said new rules by the new year would be welcome.
"I think they're under some pressure to deliver now that they've talked such a great game, Gallant and Pallister and couple of others."
Anglin said Canadians are going to expect bold changes and be allowed to do the things Comeau was stopped from doing.
"If they don't allow for Canadians to personally transport legally bought products from one province to another freely, then I think they won't have delivered on their promise."

and all the people riding on its gravy train then one of our many

they do in many jurisdictions N'esy Pas?
Derrick MacDougall
So let's get this straight.
Gallant fights the cross border booze issue and brings it all the way
to the Supreme Court wasting likely hundreds of thousands of dollars if
not more in legal fees, and months later is changing his tune? How
about you pay back all that money that was wasted in lawyer fees.
Nothing like talking out of both sides of your mouth. Nice... real

with a 13.8 billion dollar debt....

Top Kenney aide Howard Anglin to head up legal affairs at PMO
Hot off the prime ministerial presses comes word that Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has lost his chief of staff to the lures of Langevin Block.
According to an internal memo sent out this afternoon, Anglin is currently settling into his new position as special advisor within the PMO policy team, where he will handle "all matters relating to Justice, Public Safety and Immigration," as well as manage files related to ongoing litigation.
Anglin, who joined Kenney's office just before the last election, made at least one headline back in 2008 when he attempted to convince a Commons human rights subcommittee that Omar Khadr did not qualify as a 'child soldier, ' which resulted in a lively exchange with Liberal justice critic Irwin Cotler.
As Macleans.ca blogger Aaron Wherry reported in 2011, during his pre-staffer days, Anglin contributed conservative-leaning commentary to both the Daily Caller and National Review.
In 2006, he and current PMO planning director Alykhan Velshi teamed up to critique a US Supreme Court ruling that found the military commissions established by the Bush administration to try Guantanamo Bay detainees were in violation of both US military law and the Geneva Convention.
The two were briefly reunited in Kenney's office, where Velshi worked as communications director until after the election, when he spent a few months in the private sector before signing on as the PM's director of planning.
Congratulations all 'round! (And good luck filling those elegantly trimmed wingtips, minister.)

Oh, but wait, you don't understand science. Because if you did, you would remember fundamental facts like Greenland is in the northern hemisphere, and winter time (cold temperatures) happen in January.
You might understand that climate change will cause radical fluctuations in temperature and weather in general.
the average temperature is rising while at the same time causing bizarre swings and flip flops in temperatures from week to week.

Ford refuses to implement a carbon tax cash grab in Ontario. If Trudeau attempts to impose one unilaterally, he'll meet the same fate in Ontario as his beloved Aunty Kathy.
If he lets Ford off the hook, the other provinces and their premiers will be livid and will take their anger out on Liberal candidates and MPs in 2019.
Either way attempting to implement a carbon tax is likely to mean a political bloodbath for the Libs. Lose-lose situation.

Perhaps the trade dispute
with the States will provide the impetus for the provinces to break down
the trade barriers that exist between the provinces.
Kinda crazy that these exist at all in this day and age.

if you want a unified country
by all the premiers to take on the states during the phantom trade war,
then start by dropping all the trade barriers that exist in Canada
within our own provincial borders. there is no unity if each and every
province has something to protect.

@Jerry jordan Trust that the
other Premiers don't give a hoot about trading with New Brunswick.

Lol isn't this the province
who fined a guy for buying beer in Qc recently? These jokers can't even

internationally?? Here's a tip for Mr. Gallant, clean up your own
backyard before you go knocking on your neighbors door!

Right on! I think that the only thing all provinces could ever agree on is that they want more money from the federal government. Other than that, each is way too self centered about just how everything affects THEM. NB isn't in the oil export business and AB produces no maple syrup.
This sort of reminds me of the peace talks about Vietnam and trying to agree on the shape of the table.

There are no conservatives in the federal running. Reformists and CDN alliance... that is the only alternative we have to the liberals and NDP.
None are a good choice at this point but I would vote NDP or LIB before voting for these regressives.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cfta-premiers-internal-trade-dud-1.4745450
Premiers' much-hyped internal trade deal hasn't amounted to much
Everyone loves to talk about interprovincial trade - but tangible progress is scarce
On the day they released the Canadian
Free Trade Agreement in 2017, all the provincial and territorial trade
ministers were given a symbolic pair of golden scissors to remind them
to start cutting interprovincial trade barriers.
The trouble is, they aren't using them.
The scissors were gifts from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, a relentless advocacy group for whom harmonizing — and ideally, cutting — government regulations is a mantra.
Its president and CEO, Dan Kelly, said he's seen his snippy trophies proudly displayed in ministers' offices across Canada. But one year after the trade deal took effect on Canada's 150th birthday, July 1, 2017, has any tangible progress been made?
Well ...
"It's slow-going," he said. The process lacks concrete timelines. He's still waiting for the interprovincial trade committee to set priorities, let alone roll back barriers.
"I don't think there's anything that has changed, other than a commitment to start some work," he said, laughing a bit when asked to identify which specific irritants have been settled between provinces in the deal's first year of operations.
It's easier to point to reasons things stalled.
There's the pipeline debate in British Columbia and Alberta's threat to retaliate, for starters, which risks "undermining the whole spirit of this agreement," Kelly said. (Saskatchewan, another energy exporter, jumped into this fight too.)
It's
also hard to maintain momentum across 13 governments. During its time
as chair of Canada's internal trade committee, Ontario's Liberal
government (and specifically minister Brad Duguid) was a driving force
in finalizing CFTA, which was announced at the premiers conference in
Yukon in 2016 but not actually unveiled until the following spring in
Toronto.
The chair has changed hands twice since then. First it swung to New Brunswick — home of the much-discussed Comeau case, in which that province's right to stop its citizens from stocking their personal beer fridges across a provincial boundary was upheld by the Supreme Court. Now it's Quebec's turn.
Ontario's recent change of government also delayed the distribution of a working group report on alcoholic beverages that was due by July 1 (more on that later).
Ontario
Premier Doug Ford will attend his first Council of the Federation talks
this week. He appointed a deputy minister to oversee red tape reduction
in Ontario, but it remains to be seen how quick Ontario will be to
harmonize its regulations with other provinces. (Tijana Martin/Canadian Press)
This
week's Council of the Federation meeting in Saint Andrews, New
Brunswick will be Ontario Premier Doug Ford's coming out party as a
Canadian first minister. His early actions suggest he's familiar with
the gestures of internal free trade: he's appointed a senior civil
servant, deputy minister Giles Gherson, as head of "red tape and
regulatory burden reduction" in the cabinet office to "help make Ontario
more competitive and open for business."
"There's
been lots of focus on regulatory reform within provinces," Kelly said.
"It's the collective work that is more complicated."
Meanwhile, to cite only one example shared with CBC News, long-haul transport companies are still having to stop at the Manitoba border to change drivers and trucks because rules in that province don't line up with the neighbours.
It's not cost-effective, at a time when facilitating east-west trade should be a priority in the face of uncertainty across the U.S. border.
The issues in his own jurisdiction didn't stop Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister from writing to his fellow premiers last week, urging them to implement the CFTA.
"Some differences in provincial and territorial regulations may be appropriate to address local safety considerations, but the trucking industry has raised regulatory inconsistencies that constitute barriers to fair competition," he wrote.
He also flagged other longtime poster children for interprovincial trade dysfunction:
When the main CFTA was negotiated, too much work remained to announce any progress on liquor sales liberalization, so it was punted for further study. CBC News was told the report's recommendations have been circulated, but won't be made public yet.
Former
British Columbia Premier Christy Clark, left, former Ontario Premier
Kathleen Wynne, centre, and Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard announced a
new online portal to make it easier to purchase wine between their
provinces at the Council of the Federation talks in Yukon in 2016. But
it was a relatively small reform. (Jonathan Hayward/Canadian Press)
Pallister alluded
to "consensus recommendations" on personal use exemptions, enhancing
e-commerce platforms, online information, listing practices, pricing and
"sales channels intended to enhance domestic trade."
Changing the personal use exemption, Pallister said, would "demonstrate immediate progress" but he also suggested "going even further, by fully removing those limits."
Could New Brunswickers soon make legal beer runs to Quebec? It would give premiers a crowd-pleasing, populist headline to top their summer talks this week. But the committee of interprovincial trade ministers officially tasked with reviewing the recommendations hasn't met yet, so it's not clear the premiers will preempt them.
CBC News reached out to the current chair, Quebec's Economy Minister Dominique Anglade, but she was out of the country last week. She won't be in New Brunswick this week either because she's attending the Farnborough Air Show.
Despite a private members' bill passed six years ago, only three provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba and Nova Scotia) allow wine for personal use to cross provincial borders.
"We honestly believe that if they opened it up, then that would increase sales," said Dan Paszkowski, the president and CEO of the Canadian Vinters Association.
In the three provinces that opened up direct delivery of wine, sales are up, he said, citing his organization's data.
But don't be too quick to put a white hat on British Columbia. The province's rule that only B.C. wine can be sold in grocery stores has landed Canada in a trade dispute at the World Trade Organization with both the U.S. and Australia. This kind of provincial policy — while a huge headache for Canada internationally — may not be dealt with by this report.
Beer Canada's president, Luke Harford, isn't expecting a lot of in-depth work or recommendations.
The membership of the working group isn't public, but it included representatives from provincial liquor monopolies, as well as trade and finance policy officials.
"It would have been really difficult to land and see things eye-to-eye, given their various backgrounds," Harford said.
Alberta
Premier Rachel Notley announced last week that her government will
appeal a court ruling that found its program to help craft brewers
violates the Constitution. Saskatchewan and Ontario brewers had been
disadvantaged. (CBC)
Alberta wants
to discuss internal trade issues at this week's meeting, Harford said,
even as it announced last week it will appeal a recent court decision
that found the support it gives its own craft brewers at the expense of
other provinces' beer violates the Constitution.
"There's a lot of things that I think could be done... to open up Canada as one market and be more competitive at the international stage," he said.
It continues to be illegal for a craft brewer on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River to market directly to thirsty Ontarians a short bridge stroll away.
"Provinces have a lot of autonomy," said Dennis Darby, the president and CEO of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters. It's not that there's any ill will about the idea of change, he said — it's just hard to break through.
When the CFTA was signed, all the talk was about international competitiveness as Canada's new trade deals with Europe (CETA) and Pacific Rim countries (now called the CPTPP) were finalized. In 2018, NAFTA and other U.S. trade disputes loom larger.
As the Trump administration threatens new automotive tariffs, for example, the economist for the Canadian Automotive Dealers Association told reporters earlier this month that one of the most important things Canada needs to do is cut internal trade barriers — not because of a direct irritant to dealerships, but because of their overall drag on the economy.
"There's no practical reason, in 2018, that there should be any differences or any requirement for extra paperwork," Darby said. "Canada is a nation of traders.
"We need someone to blink."

Pallister urging action
Meanwhile, to cite only one example shared with CBC News, long-haul transport companies are still having to stop at the Manitoba border to change drivers and trucks because rules in that province don't line up with the neighbours.
It's not cost-effective, at a time when facilitating east-west trade should be a priority in the face of uncertainty across the U.S. border.

"Some differences in provincial and territorial regulations may be appropriate to address local safety considerations, but the trucking industry has raised regulatory inconsistencies that constitute barriers to fair competition," he wrote.
He also flagged other longtime poster children for interprovincial trade dysfunction:
- abbatoir licensing variations that have nothing to do with safety, but nevertheless inhibit the shipment of provincially-inspected meat across internal borders;
- the need for nationwide businesses to register separately in each province in which they operate;
- occupational health and safety rules that require different types of first aid kits, depending on where you work.
Liquor announcement this week?
When the main CFTA was negotiated, too much work remained to announce any progress on liquor sales liberalization, so it was punted for further study. CBC News was told the report's recommendations have been circulated, but won't be made public yet.
Changing the personal use exemption, Pallister said, would "demonstrate immediate progress" but he also suggested "going even further, by fully removing those limits."

Gallant calls for freer flow of beer across provincial borders
Manitoba premier writes letter saying restrictions should be eliminated
Premier
Brian Gallant has agreed to support a freer flow of beer across
provincial borders, saying the matter will be discussed at next week's
premiers' meeting in Saint Andrews.
"We, as premiers, all agreed that we have to have a freer flow of beer and alcohol in the country and that's exactly why we put a working group of trade ministers to discuss this important subject, one that is quite complex," Gallant said.
"And they're coming back to us over the next few days with some recommendations and suggestions."
The statement was made following the release of a letter by Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister calling for the elimination of restrictions on cross-border booze runs.
And it comes just three months after the province won a Supreme Court fight to be able to fine individual New Brunswickers for bringing too much beer or alcohol home from other provinces.

Pallister's letter
In the letter obtained by The Canadian Press, Pallister says the provinces should remove their limits on interprovincial transportation of alcohol for personal use.
"In particular, the recommendation regarding a personal use exemption will address long-standing concerns regarding the transportation of alcoholic beverages across domestic borders by significantly increasing personal-use limits," Pallister wrote.
Surprise move
The New Brunswick premier's words come as a surprise after the Gallant government fought all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada to keep cross-border beer barriers in place.
In April, the Supreme Court ruled New Brunswick had the right to fine a Tracadie man for bringing home a trunkload of beer and liquor from Quebec, where alcohol is cheaper.
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that provinces and territories have the right to restrict cross-border imports as long as the restriction is not geared to impede trade.
In this case, the court found that the primary purpose of New Brunswick's law was "to prohibit holding excessive quantities of liquor from supplies not managed by the province."
The premiers' meeting runs Wednesday through Friday. It's expected to cover a variety of topics, including Indigenous issues and intercity buses.

N.B. Premier Gallant calls for unified First Ministers front as trade battle with U.S. heats up
Premiers to meet in New Brunswick next week for annual gathering
· CBC News · Posted: Jul 13, 2018 4:00 AM ET
Despite the conflicting policy views held by
some of Canada's premiers, New Brunswick's Premier Brian Gallant is
urging them to remain united as Canada faces an onslaught of trade
challenges from the U.S.
Tensions between the provinces have been high in the past year — especially out west, where British Columbia and Alberta have been feuding over a thwarted expansion project for the Trans Mountain pipeline. Ottawa ended up buying the pipeline from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion.
Gallant, who is hosting next week's annual premiers meeting in New Brunswick, said he fully expects that topic to come up, along with the perennial irritant of interprovincial trade.
No matter what the dividing issues are this year, however, he said he's hoping all premiers keep an open mind.
"I think it's going to be very important as premiers to be as united as possible," he told CBC Radio's The House on Wednesday.
"There's a lot more that binds us together than divides us."
Remaining cohesive is key, given the trade war percolating between Canada and the U.S., Gallant said.
"Trade in all of its aspects will be top of mind next week."
Canada moved forward at the beginning of the month with $16 billion in tariffs against our southern neighbour — retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imposed a month before.
Gallant is advocating a "quicker" approach to getting an interprovincial free trade agreement up and running and said he expects his counterparts will agree, given the sour atmosphere hanging over trade talks with the U.S.
International and interprovincial trade aren't the only topics that have been causing friction in the federation lately.
The federal government has been under fire recently for renewing the existing equalization formula for another five years despite strong objections from some provinces. The extension kicks in next year.
Equalization, which is based on a highly complex formula, is designed to help poorer provincial governments provide public services that are reasonably comparable to those in other provinces.
Saskatchewan
has expressed its displeasure with the federal government's methods for
calculating equalization payments and its government has suggested an
alternative plan.
Premier Scott Moe made a formal request to add equalization to the meeting's agenda, Gallant said, but that schedule was solidified weeks ago.
He told guest host Katie Simpson he'd invited Moe to bring it up in the open portion of the meeting.
The premiers will be in St. Andrews, N.B., from July 18-20
Ontario
Premier Doug Ford will make his debut in front of Canada's premiers
next week in New Brunswick and is expected to dominate the two days of
meetings in scenic St. Andrews. (Mark Blinch/Canadian Press)
When Canada's premiers gather in New Brunswick for their annual summer meetings this week, the main event undoubtedly will be the debut of Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Officials from multiple provinces expect the country's newest provincial leader to dominate the two days of meetings in scenic St. Andrews. "There's no doubt people are waiting to see how Ford will act," one official said. Another bluntly added: "I'm betting it's going to be Fordapalooza."
Ford already showed himself to be a disruptive force in federal-provincial relations by scrapping Ontario's participation in a cap-and-trade market and slamming Ottawa for its handling of asylum seekers, many of whom have made their way to Ontario after crossing the Canada-U.S. border.
The testy relationship between Ontario and the federal government was on full display at a federal-provincial immigration ministers meeting in Winnipeg on Friday, when Ontario's Lisa MacLeod refused to join her counterparts at the podium for a closing news conference.
Federal
Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen noted MacLeod's absence from the
podium and then called Ontario's comments on asylum seekers
"irresponsible," saying "it's divisive, it's fear mongering and it's not
Canadian."
"The track record of collaboration between Canada and Ontario is being challenged by the new (Ontario) government," Hussen said.
MacLeod later suggested Hussen should "sit down, have a nice cup of tea, calm down a little bit and maybe phone me and apologize for calling me un-Canadian."
Canada may want to put the kettle on. Ford is just the latest — and most significant — change to a roster of premiers that creates new challenges for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's national agenda, most notably on climate change.
When Trudeau and the premiers met in Vancouver in March 2016 to start discussions on a national climate change plan, there were seven Liberal premiers and two New Democrats. The conservative outlier was Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall.
But now there is a bloc of conservative governments in the middle of the country. Ontario and Saskatchewan are trying to scuttle the carbon tax entirely. Manitoba is balking at fully implementing it.
Officials in other provinces are eager to see if an alliance forms between Ford, Manitoba's Brian Pallister and Saskatchewan's Scott Moe at the premiers' table.
A federal source who spoke to CBC News last week said that shifting federal-provincial landscape is partly behind Trudeau's decision to unveil changes to his cabinet this Wednesday.
There are even signs of stress in the Atlantic provinces Trudeau's Liberals virtually swept in 2015. Prince Edward Island said last week that if Trudeau wants to impose a carbon tax on Islanders he will have to do it himself, as P.E.I. argues it can reduce emissions without it.
"We're fighting for Islanders here. We're saying if the federal government's plan is to reduce carbon, we have a plan to reduce carbon," P.E.I.'s Environment Minister Richard Brown said. "They can impose their tax."
A senior politician in Newfoundland and Labrador grumbled privately that it will fall to the province to sell the Trudeau carbon tax in an oil-reliant economy already crippled by record deficits, a high cost of living and an unemployment rate hurtling toward 20 per cent.
New
Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant hopes to use this week's meetings to
establish a united front on trade. Given the swelling trade war with the
United States, Gallant argues the country can't appear to have internal
divisions.
On that front, it shouldn't be hard to get a common statement rebuking U.S. President Donald Trump for building tariff walls along the most profitable border in world history.
"I think it's going to be very important, as premiers, to be as united as possible," he told CBC Radio's The House.
"There's a lot more that binds us together than divides us."
But the premiers are still struggling to find common ground on reducing interprovincial trade barriers. Gallant said he hopes the new friction in north-south trade can help accelerate the removal of east-west barriers that still exist more than a year after the Canada Free Trade Agreement was announced.
Ford, Moe, B.C.'s John Horgan and Nunavut's Joe Savikataaq will all attend their first Council of the Federation meeting this week. There are signs of more changes on the horizon.
Ford defeated and replaced Kathleen Wynne — Trudeau's staunchest provincial ally — with his resounding electoral win in June. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard faces a tough election on Oct 1 that could lead to the toppling of yet another Liberal premier.
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is still a staunch Trudeau ally — especially now that the prime minister has forked over billions to ensure she gets her pipeline. But Notley faces a United Conservative Party under former Harper cabinet minister Jason Kenney and has a date with Alberta voters in 2019. Kenney would be unlikely to bring a bouquet of wild roses to a first ministers meeting with Trudeau.
As
each new face arrives at the premiers' table, the climate consensus
forged in Trudeau's first year in office erodes. It seems almost certain
that Trudeau will have to impose his carbon tax on a growing number of
provinces covering a significant portion of the national economy — and
then perhaps rebate the revenue directly to Canadians instead of
transferring it to the provinces.
As one senior federal official suggested to CBC News, that may end up being more politically popular in the long run.
But it all shows the challenge of trying to negotiate an ambitious, long-term national plan — especially when election cycles don't synch up and allies come and go.
Tensions between the provinces have been high in the past year — especially out west, where British Columbia and Alberta have been feuding over a thwarted expansion project for the Trans Mountain pipeline. Ottawa ended up buying the pipeline from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion.
Gallant, who is hosting next week's annual premiers meeting in New Brunswick, said he fully expects that topic to come up, along with the perennial irritant of interprovincial trade.
No matter what the dividing issues are this year, however, he said he's hoping all premiers keep an open mind.
"I think it's going to be very important as premiers to be as united as possible," he told CBC Radio's The House on Wednesday.
"There's a lot more that binds us together than divides us."
Remaining cohesive is key, given the trade war percolating between Canada and the U.S., Gallant said.
"Trade in all of its aspects will be top of mind next week."
Canada moved forward at the beginning of the month with $16 billion in tariffs against our southern neighbour — retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imposed a month before.
Gallant is advocating a "quicker" approach to getting an interprovincial free trade agreement up and running and said he expects his counterparts will agree, given the sour atmosphere hanging over trade talks with the U.S.
Equalization on the table — unofficially
International and interprovincial trade aren't the only topics that have been causing friction in the federation lately.
The federal government has been under fire recently for renewing the existing equalization formula for another five years despite strong objections from some provinces. The extension kicks in next year.
Equalization, which is based on a highly complex formula, is designed to help poorer provincial governments provide public services that are reasonably comparable to those in other provinces.
Premier Scott Moe made a formal request to add equalization to the meeting's agenda, Gallant said, but that schedule was solidified weeks ago.
He told guest host Katie Simpson he'd invited Moe to bring it up in the open portion of the meeting.
The premiers will be in St. Andrews, N.B., from July 18-20
Doug Ford tilts the table away from Trudeau's agenda
Premiers are still struggling to find common ground on reducing interprovincial trade barriers
When Canada's premiers gather in New Brunswick for their annual summer meetings this week, the main event undoubtedly will be the debut of Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Officials from multiple provinces expect the country's newest provincial leader to dominate the two days of meetings in scenic St. Andrews. "There's no doubt people are waiting to see how Ford will act," one official said. Another bluntly added: "I'm betting it's going to be Fordapalooza."
Ford already showed himself to be a disruptive force in federal-provincial relations by scrapping Ontario's participation in a cap-and-trade market and slamming Ottawa for its handling of asylum seekers, many of whom have made their way to Ontario after crossing the Canada-U.S. border.
The testy relationship between Ontario and the federal government was on full display at a federal-provincial immigration ministers meeting in Winnipeg on Friday, when Ontario's Lisa MacLeod refused to join her counterparts at the podium for a closing news conference.
"The track record of collaboration between Canada and Ontario is being challenged by the new (Ontario) government," Hussen said.
MacLeod later suggested Hussen should "sit down, have a nice cup of tea, calm down a little bit and maybe phone me and apologize for calling me un-Canadian."
New Conservatives change the mix
Canada may want to put the kettle on. Ford is just the latest — and most significant — change to a roster of premiers that creates new challenges for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's national agenda, most notably on climate change.
When Trudeau and the premiers met in Vancouver in March 2016 to start discussions on a national climate change plan, there were seven Liberal premiers and two New Democrats. The conservative outlier was Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall.
But now there is a bloc of conservative governments in the middle of the country. Ontario and Saskatchewan are trying to scuttle the carbon tax entirely. Manitoba is balking at fully implementing it.
Officials in other provinces are eager to see if an alliance forms between Ford, Manitoba's Brian Pallister and Saskatchewan's Scott Moe at the premiers' table.
A federal source who spoke to CBC News last week said that shifting federal-provincial landscape is partly behind Trudeau's decision to unveil changes to his cabinet this Wednesday.
Atlantic concerns
There are even signs of stress in the Atlantic provinces Trudeau's Liberals virtually swept in 2015. Prince Edward Island said last week that if Trudeau wants to impose a carbon tax on Islanders he will have to do it himself, as P.E.I. argues it can reduce emissions without it.
"We're fighting for Islanders here. We're saying if the federal government's plan is to reduce carbon, we have a plan to reduce carbon," P.E.I.'s Environment Minister Richard Brown said. "They can impose their tax."
A senior politician in Newfoundland and Labrador grumbled privately that it will fall to the province to sell the Trudeau carbon tax in an oil-reliant economy already crippled by record deficits, a high cost of living and an unemployment rate hurtling toward 20 per cent.
On that front, it shouldn't be hard to get a common statement rebuking U.S. President Donald Trump for building tariff walls along the most profitable border in world history.
"I think it's going to be very important, as premiers, to be as united as possible," he told CBC Radio's The House.
"There's a lot more that binds us together than divides us."
But the premiers are still struggling to find common ground on reducing interprovincial trade barriers. Gallant said he hopes the new friction in north-south trade can help accelerate the removal of east-west barriers that still exist more than a year after the Canada Free Trade Agreement was announced.
More new faces to come
Ford, Moe, B.C.'s John Horgan and Nunavut's Joe Savikataaq will all attend their first Council of the Federation meeting this week. There are signs of more changes on the horizon.
Ford defeated and replaced Kathleen Wynne — Trudeau's staunchest provincial ally — with his resounding electoral win in June. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard faces a tough election on Oct 1 that could lead to the toppling of yet another Liberal premier.
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is still a staunch Trudeau ally — especially now that the prime minister has forked over billions to ensure she gets her pipeline. But Notley faces a United Conservative Party under former Harper cabinet minister Jason Kenney and has a date with Alberta voters in 2019. Kenney would be unlikely to bring a bouquet of wild roses to a first ministers meeting with Trudeau.
As one senior federal official suggested to CBC News, that may end up being more politically popular in the long run.
But it all shows the challenge of trying to negotiate an ambitious, long-term national plan — especially when election cycles don't synch up and allies come and go.
