Heather McPherson in particular likes to stand up in Question Period to demand that the federal government *do something* about Danielle Smith .
No, that's not how this works. The federal government is not the parent and provinces are not children. They are co-equal divisions of power.

the number of folks who angrily demand that the PM 'save them' from what the premier they elected, has done to their healthcare, blows me away. Esp from Ontario,where less than half are voting with a direct result of Ford getting 3 cons majorities.

It's just objectively silly — and, I would argue, very counter-productive — that housing has come to be seen as a *federal* issue.
