I do find it interesting how quiet Justin has been on the nationalist file. BC and Quebec have pitted themselves against other provinces imposing their own rules. Trudeau Sr would have probably squashed that flat. Justin hasn't said a word on Federal jurisdiction and it is getting worse. At some point he will have to step in and get the provinces in line. Hopefully he will do that with the NEB review, although I have my serious doubt.

If Alberta and Quebec would have been in this scrap when Pet was in power, Pet would have squashed Alberta, stolen as much money as he could from it, and then sent that money straight into Quebec and Ontario's wallet.
Oh wait.
