Time to stand up and do things right, yes? Never vote Conservative.
Has Carney himself made any kind of public statement(s) about Danielle Smith's flagrant abuse of the notwithstanding clause? Anything at all? The Albertans affected are Canadian citizens who have had their Charter rights stripped. Seems like that should merit some kind of response from our PM.

It shouldn't be common in Alberta for a child to be forced to wait more than a year for a mental health and/or developmental care diagnosis. With the school year approaching, pediatrician recruitment, retention and support are required.

Private hospitals are bad for patients, bad for staff & bad for the public. Yet Alberta is still dead set on pushing through Bill 55 to enable private hospital ownership!

Every credible Cdn news media is reporting CPC is pouring resources into Mr Poilievre’s riding - very much in danger of losing his seat.
Couldn’t happen to a more partisan man who revels in demeaning opposition leaders, MPs & PMs.
Everyone is fair game for criticism. BUT making it personal is
