Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe are demanding that Ottawa stop stomping on their provinces’ natural resource production.

Smith is telling PM Mark Carney to scrap the “no more pipelines” law, Bill C-69 , lift the cap on Alberta ’s energy and cancel the looming ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles.

Canada has seen nearly $670 billion in natural resources projects suspended or cancelled since 2015 .
