Continuing low oil prices killed Energy East, not the federal government which hasn't even ruled on the project which is under NEB review.

A bit much for Kenney to be mumbling about renegotiating equalisation when such a proud supporter of Alberta's independence and ability to look after itself.

ANY other government in Alberta at the moment, including a UCP one, would be struggling right now. Fort years of inaction on economic diversification cannot be overcome very quickly, especially as funding from oil and gas revenues is in the cellar.
