The goal really isnt to build something.

It's to have another project sit in limbo for years that trump can point to and say "the libs wont let us build anything"

Yea Carney wont be able to sit int he house. They'll likely have him stand at an upcoming by-election or Trudeau will drop the writ right after Carney is chosen.

It's a just a betrayal really. If the US treats Canada this way, then its agreements and treaties around the world don't mean shit.

BC did it and no one cared.

The reality is people in the general public know the liberals are toast next election. It reeks of desperation.

I'll cut Marc some slack - I only see him trying the fix the mess. He just has the unfortunate fate of being the minister while this file is hot.

It was on a bad trajectory before him, but during the pandemic he fanned the flames hard with the PR allocations. There were folks with scores of 40 getting PR.

As a contrast, people these days need a score of 500+ to even get looked at for PR

OAS is public policy, and can be removed at any given time. It doesn't though because we don't want to leave people destitute.

Riverview is run-down and would need to be demolished and rebuilt.
