The BCNDP let him take the lead on the government’s response to the unregulated drug deaths emergency. They didn’t have to. It wasn’t inevitable. Each time they accepted what Rustad said as a reasonable perspective on public policy more human lives were traded for votes they would never get
BC Conservative Party leader John Rustad delivered a conspiratorial speech about children being forced to eat bugs at an event celebrating the Freedom Convoy

this method indicates that the government is burying the report
Serious question: did Environment and Climate Change Canada just release a 250+ pg legally-mandated report on Canada's progress toward its climate targets without a media release? I don't see one, or any news stories. Found report 4 levels down on ECCC's website.

I'm not convinced that wasn't Carney's plan all along. It isn't Ottawa that said no to Alberta. "Now you run along, Danielle, and make friends and get it done." Oh wait, you can't? Oh well then, at least you tried.
