Benefits the power base in Alberta. That's why.
They have no issues using the powers of the federal government to ram something through if it serves their interest. Imagine how the CPC would react if say a LPO government decided to pass legislation heavily restricting the use of firearms in Ontario. It's the same Republican nonsense you see in the US. "States rights." Only for issues that Republicans care about and can win at the state level. For some reason, the conservatives don't seem to understand, they can actually win and form government more often if they actually act like a national party instead of Alberta's federal representatives.
Exactly. And I find this to be a very disturbing detour for a national government because it openly exacerbates provincial level divisions. There is nothing national about party that want to run like the Bloc.
