They don't want to fix problems, they want to have problems to complain about, campaign on, and grift off of.

Yeah, probably. But by committing to not hold the referendum until they get the value, they’ve actually quashed this. In section 113 of the CPP act it specifies how the value would be arrived at, and the federal finance minister gets to choose the formula. The act sets out parameters for this, but not a specific formula.
But this is where they’ve either knowingly (or unknowingly, depending on whether they’ve read this or not), killed this. The act says that the calculation is done after a province has given notice and enacted legislation for a comparable plan. No new plan enacted, no calculation. No calculation, no referendum…so there’s really no discussion to be had.
