The “partnership” where they refuse to do their jobs building housing, fixing healthcare and doing their part for the environment, and instead just blame the federal government for their failures and demand more federal transfers? That partnership?
Canada is a federation, and we are strongest when we are united and working together.

My thanks to Canada’s premiers for their partnership this year. Looking forward to our work ahead in 2026 to keep building a stronger, more competitive, and more independent Canadian economy.
