It’s no surprise Trudeau is afraid to meet the premiers as demanded by parliament. Trudeau said he already had a meeting in 2016. Danielle Smith quite rightly pointed out none of today’s premiers were in office in 2016. BTW, who was Alberta’s premier at that meeting? None other than the infamous Rachel Notley supported by the NDP. At that time, Trudeau said the carbon tax wouldn’t have to be more than $50 per tonne of CO2. $50 was the maximum. However, after being elected, the Liberals and the ever-loveable minister Steven Guilbeault decided it should go to $170. Reading back, Notley didn’t say much at that meeting, preferring to stay mostly mute. Only Saskatchewan’s Premier Brad Wall really opposed the carbon tax then. So, I wonder if the new NDP leader (sorry, Nenshi) will follow Notley’s direction and support Trudeau’s plans. Just saying.

(Meeting with the premiers over the carbon tax is definitely a losing proposition for Trudeau.)
Ship is sinking
In a stunning announcement, Jagmeet Singh has just said his party no longer supports a consumer carbon tax. A senior Liberal party official quickly responded, stating the NDP’s decision will have no effect on their supply and confidence agreement. Of course it won’t. When the ship is sinking, there’s obviously not enough room on the political life-boats to save them all.

Just the facts, ma’am
I find it very disheartening more and more printed publications of news are going under. People believe fake news. At least when I read the actual paper, there is a note if it’s opinions. Personally, I want facts! No BS, just facts, so I can have an educated opinion. So, my go to of common sense actually means something. (PS. Nice work even if I do not always agree.)

Stop interfering
Regardless of whether any riding outcomes were affected by foreign interference in recent federal elections, the fact that members of the commission investigating such have recognized and admitted that there was foreign interference should not simply shrug their collective shoulders and say, ‘No harm, no foul.’ This is akin to the courts saying someone who discharges a firearm in a public place but whose bullets failed to hit anyone has not committed a crime. Action should be taken against the perpetrators and steps must be taken to prevent interference in the future.

(Agreed. But the Trudeau Liberals along with their governing partners the NDP, won’t do a thing)
