At this point being nice has done nothing in my mind. I also don't believe that Notley has all that much capital with Trudeau, if she did and Trudeau saw her as a valuable ally he would have done something to help her re-election prospects.
The concept of social license, of being the good neighbour hasn't worked.
When you have people coming out of the chamber presentation, saying, "Our prime Minister said some nice things, lets hope he actually takes some action" it makes me wonder if our Prime Minister thinks that we'll just continue to play nice and accept slack and slow action.
I think that Notley is earnest and she wants to make things happen, but I'm not convinced that she's willing to take that next step.
When she surrendered the wine ban with getting nothing, and stated that she wasn't on board with the national climate plan, and then instead of taking concrete action, she just kind of stopped talking about it, it rang my alarm bells in my head about how hard she's willing to actually go.
Its like I've said, if she doesn't take some kind of concrete action before the next election, all the tough talking in the world isn't going to get her elected. We're now beyond that point.
As soon as Justin and Horgan posed for that picture with the shyte eating grin on their face with Trudeau handing over a ton of money to BC for infrastructure, I knew that Trudeau wasn't taking Notley seriously, and he's not.
Saying in one breath its a crisis, while on the other hand telling the provinces representatives who were asking for help on C-69 and rail cars I knew that Trudeau was mouthing empty statements.
