And the courts are going to see right through their modified "tax everyone but subsidize locals" scheme. The intent to do an end-run around the constitution is blatant and obvious.
Great, looks like I'm buying Steam Whistle as an NDP protest. Good thing I like Steam Whistle because its delicious.

This is getting ridiculous. At some point we really need someone to step in and just tell Notley and her gang of incompetent miscreants that perhaps Governance isnt for them, they're bad at it and they should feel bad, now go back to the sandbox to play and let the grownups go to work. How did we elect the Edmonton Oilers of Governments? Is Kevin Lowe a Minister?

They spend more time trying to save face after making themselves look like idiots than actually doing their jobs.

Heres a quick tip: think things through before you do them. Ask experts for opinions and advice. If you do things properly the first time, or even sometimes dont do things at all because they're so stupid that they're borderline illegal, you'll spend less time and money trying not to look foolish.

And all of this for a new tax! How many does that make for them now? Putting tariffs on intra-provincially imported beer? What year is this?
