I’ll add that these ‘asks’ have been used for decades. My father had a similar ask back in the late 60’s (in Saskatchewan). He could have his loans all forgiven if he signed a contract to practice social work in the province for a number of years.
Unfortunately he and my mom split up during that time and he moved to BC, so had to pay the Sask gov’t back for his BSW.
I see the other side of that where we’re upping border control in case Trump decides he wants to invade. That’s not a bad thing.
Can you imagine him bargaining with the EU? Ugh.
His collection? Bah. He should’ve shared it! ;)
The liquor bottles and flags make good sentries.
Most of Canada’s beef cattle come from Alberta so passing CETA should soon be a breeze – just let Alberta know that their market will only be Canada (if they use growth hormone) or the world (if they don’t).
If they’re smart they’ll choose right.
He’s done well. He has some baggage from a while back and I wasn’t sure if he’d be able to overcome it, but so far so good.
I’m quietly hoping this isn’t a Jekyll/Hyde scenario and he stays on track.
Charlie is on because he’s backing the petition(s). Just because Singh is party leader doesn’t mean he has to do it … although it would likely have helped how the public sees him.
I have to wonder it it’s not a bit of a dig at the FIPPA we’ve got with China, as in China invests in both Russia and Canada but we don’t have to play their game by their rules.
I’m glad they’re getting sanctioned. Xi is as much a scumbag as Trump is.
They need to go left again, instead of this centrist crap Layton brought in.
Yeah, but the same thing can be said of most politicians these days. They stick to their talking points and don’t go off-script much.
I mean I hate it too, but it’s what politics is now.
Canada can’t have him until he’s fixed everything that Pallister and Stefanson screwed up.
I can’t tell you how great it is having a premier who actually gives a shit about us.
sigh
I like him, but leadership of a party just doesn’t seem to be his thing.
Everyone should have to take a class in school that helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses, so at least you have some idea what abilities you’ve got. Part of the course should include knowing when to step back.
Problem with that is we gotta offer a higher salary, which we can’t afford right now. Now with how medicare is being sabotaged by conservative provincial governments.
Every province can afford it tho (prior to this tariff fiasco anyway). 2 years ago Trudeau gave each province extra billions to fund healthcare … but he wanted the premiers to sign a contract stating they would spend the money on healthcare.
Every one of the premiers told him to fuck off. So if a province is doing pretty shitty in healthcare right now (looking at you NB) it’s because the premier decided to spend that money on other stuff.
America already gets a discount on the oil we ship. Turn off that faucet and add a 40% tariff to oil. Let’s see how the orange magot likes his base screaming bloody murder over paying $10 per gallon of fuel.
