All of a sudden the BC NDP cares about equalization. I thought it was only Alberta that gave a damn about sending so much money east.

The panel that mixes policy for Science is back.

At 15:15, while commenting on the BC Conservative's fourteen-page Health Care Plan, Jeff Ferrier says, "There's cash for anti-vax conspiracy theorists." That seems like a very strong yet ambiguous accusation, to which Rob Shaw had no reaction. I'm not sure if that was because Rob understood what Jeff was referring to, but I certainly don't. I had a quick look through the document and couldn't see anything about "cash for anti-vax conspiracy theorists." What was Jeff Ferrier referring to?

With 9 million people how does Quebec become a have not province , while the other province's with 2 million people are not have not. I lived in Quebec and believe me that it's not a have not province but a very wealthy country within Canada and they received a extra bonus from the rest of Canada.

The Federal Conservatives under Harper created a system which favoured Quebec and now no government is brave enough to touch it

Eby taking on Ottawa? I suspect it will be more like a small dog under the table lapping up the crumbs. 🙄

He shouldn't say to much if he gets in again in the fall we will soon be a have not province

I thought journalists were suppose to be non partisan? It would be refreshing to have other opinions on these panels, especially with our election coming up. I am out and will look for my updates elsewhere.
