Did anyone ask Albertans?

Re: Tory leader courts Quebec, Sept. 15

Disappointingly, montreal-born and Ontario-raised Conservative Leader erin O’toole acknowledged in a recent meeting with Quebec Premier François Legault that energy east is “not on the table.”

What constitutional right does Quebec have to restrict landlocked Alberta’s pipeline access to east Coast tide water?

And did O’toole ask Albertans if energy east is no longer on our table?

meanwhile, our Quebec-pandering, Western-alienating federal government restricts Alberta’s access to West Coast tide water with its Oil Tanker moratorium Act, which inequitably applies only to b.c.’s north coast — but not Quebec’s coast or Canada’s east coast.

That act violates the spirit and intent of Part Ten “right of Access of Land-locked

States To and From the Sea and Freedom of Transit” of the un’s Convention on the Law of the Sea to which Canada is a signatory.
