Don Braid: With tanker ban on the table, it's B.C. Premier Eby's turn to moan about Ottawa

NDP Premier David Eby is flopping around like an angry walrus in B.C.

It sure is fun to watch.

Eby sounds almost like an Alberta premier during the Justin Trudeau regime, when Ottawa systematically piled up laws that stifled the province’s economy.

Premier Jason Kenney, and now Danielle Smith, complained loudly and often daily.

There’s a big difference, though.

They had just cause for fury. Eby does not.

Bill C-69, the north coast tanker ban, the emissions cap — Trudeau’s Liberals did everything possible to phase out Alberta’s main industry.

This was exactly what the coastal New Democrats wanted. They loved it all.

Now, Eby furiously opposes an end to the tanker ban, or even a limited exception.

He moans that his province was left out of “secret” talks among Alberta, Saskatchewan
