‘Unwarranted and unprincipled’: Alberta appeals federal carbon tax ruling
The Alberta government has filed its legal arguments ahead of its appeal of the impending federal carbon tax.
Court documents registered at the provincial Court of Appeal on Friday argue Ottawa is overreaching its constitutional authority, calling the tax an “unwarranted and unprincipled intrusion intro provincial jurisdiction.”
“We don’t need Ottawa and the Trudeau Liberals coming in and telling us how to do this,” said Alberta Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer. “We do it. We do it well. We’re the best in the world at doing it, and we’re going to make sure the world knows that in this court case.” #abpoli
