Alberta celebrated its inaugural birthday party holiday with Culture Minister Ron Orr chastising the prime minister and “Laurentian elites” while asserting the province has received the short end of the stick in the federation for more than a century.
“The family compact of Laurentian elites have always skewed the deal in their favour,” Orr told assembled dignitaries, including Premier Jason Kenney, indigenous leaders and Lt.-Gov. Salma Lakhani, on a sunny morning Thursday near the legislature grounds.
