I raised concerns about the lack of western representation in cabinet in general back in the spring (and lack of BC presence in particular). It raised the likelihood that the government might make miscalculations here, and I world suggest we're seeing that play out. bsky.app/profile/stew...
Looking at Carney's cabinet, there are 4 ministers from west of Kenora. In comparison, there are five from the Atlantic provinces. Puts a lot of pressure on Jill McNight, Gregor Robertson, Eleanor Olszewski, and Rebecca Chartrand to speak up for the western parts of the country at that table.

for the Santa parade last weekend, I was able to drive downtown and park a block away right before it started. I have never had problems when being downtown at the same time as a Blazers game either or on Canada Day

CBC had a clip of someone from the City responding to what he said and they were basically saying it was absolutely not possible. Our Mayor does not live in reality

I dont think it would have been built on a timeline that would have benefited him without his intervention. I view him more as a ‘business’ partner to the project than a benevolent donor
