Alberta Member of Parliament and Energy Critic Shannon Stubbs is making a swing through the Okanagan drumming up support for her party. Stubbs describes federal Liberal policies as "sabotage of our Energy sector". She stopped in at KelownaNow ahead of tonight's meeting at 6 p.m. at the West Kelowna Holiday Inn.
Stubbs told a supportive crowd in Penticton last night how a struggling oil and gas sector hurts all Canadians, but in Alberta, it's immediate when she speaks with affected workers. "I've heard loud and clear from them, the impact of the downturn in the oil and gas industry." Despite the Liberal government going to the extent to purchase the Trans Mountain Expansion project in an effort to get it through, she blames them for not getting shovels in the ground. She said the failure is reflective of "layers and layers of anti-energy decisions and policies."
Stubbs points out that Oil remains Canada's number one export. "The reason we as Conservatives have made a commitment to fight for the Trans Mountain Pipeline," she told the Penticton crowd, "is because of how critical it is for the Canadian Economy."
