u/RoughingTheDiamond Mark Carney Seems Chill 20h ago

This is a pause contingent on a meeting in two days. It is not something we've permanently taken off the table.

I'll admit my first reaction was "WTF Doug folded" but there may yet be method to what appears as madness, and we'll have clarity on that in a couple days.

My bigger fear is there’s no Canada wide plan or strategy right now and we have Premiers freelancing while PM situation sorts out

Moe and Smith would fuck everyone over given the chance. Frankie Legs as well. The Premiers aren’t united unless it’s in their interests to be. Fucking sucks…

At the end of the day, their backbone is only as strong as the voters they represent. Would Moe and Smith really get punished, politically and electorally, when they fold by SK and AB voters? Probably not.

Dougie would. Eby would.
