QC, BC, AB, MB - actually any province - allowing the federal govt jurisdiction over electricity or land use is as likely as a stroll through the snow with a Greenlandic penguin!

No real jurisdiction, no. As for power? No there’s no real way to limit that, either.
I’m trying to think of how the feds might regulate in this space and I will update folks when I have better info from people like @tim4hire.bsky.social or @blakeshaffer.bsky.social

I’m not sure what aspects are Calvinball but electricity is open and shut. So is land use. It’s not muddy.
But the point here is it is not the federal leader’s role to tell Wab Kinew how to run Manitoba Hydro. Period.

I honestly cannot stand the “this is not who we are” when progressives are trying to narrate some fresh hell from the far-right. It’s copium.
A better argument is: we have to fight for our democracy, we cannot take it for granted.
