TORONTO—Two of the most powerful political forces creating headwinds for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet in Toronto on Friday.

Fresh off his Alberta election victory, Premier Jason Kenney will meet with Ontario Premier Doug Ford at the legislature to discuss their “shared priorities,” according to a press release from Ford’s office.

They will discuss the federal carbon tax and the new environmental assessment act, Bill C-69 — which they have both spoken out against, as well as pipelines and interprovincial trade.

Kenney’s path to power in the April election echoed much of the rhetoric that Ford used when he rode to victory last year.

Both pledged to make their provinces “open for business” and spent much of their campaigns targeting Trudeau and his climate change policies.

After meeting with Ford early on Friday, Kenney will give a lunchtime speech at the Canadian Club. It’s billed as a “post-election address.”

His visit to Toronto follows a day of meetings in Ottawa where Kenney testified at the Senate committee reviewing Bill C-69 and met with Trudeau.

At committee, Kenney told senators he will immediately launch a constitutional challenge, if the bill is passed in its current form.
