What way of thinking? That was my priority going into the election. Calm the feds the #### down. A limp wristed premier in the same scenario would have gotten steam rolled. "Sorry guys, at least we got a pipeline though".
At that point its too late and Carney isn't incentivized to change anything. Bad PR and the media is about the only weapon provinces had against Trudeau. The gun buyback is an ongoing comparable. That #### is dead already, they're just going to continue to spend money on it for a few more years for Quebec.
In comparison UCP/NDP squabbling about their 2% growth in expenditure is not enough. I will spend 3%! Their 8 billion in debt is too high, I will only go into debt 7 billion! Cuts are terrible, I will use attrition!
Meh, who gives a ####, if oil is high they'll spend more. If oil drops they'll cut spending. Welcome to Alberta.
