Ottawa must treat provinces fairly to thwart Western discontent, B.C. Premier says

B.C. Premier David Eby has spent months bashing the federal government for shortchanging his province, but he says he doesn’t want to stoke sentiments of alienation in the West.He called on Canada’s next prime minister to focus on equity in federal spending across the country, saying that will smother the “awful” rhetoric that is feeding talk of Western separatism at a time when the U.S. President is looking for weak links in Canadian unity.
