Alex, thanks for bringing this situation to our attention. Just when some of us thought that normality was close to being reclaimed, zip - another rug gets yanked.

It makes one wonder if buried within the text of Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, permission may have been granted to indigenous groups that would act as a quid pro quo related to infrastructure and natural resource extraction projects.

Ted, thank you! Project Normality remains a kinda-sorta for this minority parliament. They're cribbing enough from the Conservative platform to undo some damage and buy time, but come the fall we'll learn just how serious they are about disassembling the billion-dollar boondoggles -- turned industrial complexes -- that were raised so hastily under He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Carney talking out of both sides of his mouth on "action" but "consensus" doesn't bode well for special veto powers, privileges, and picking more losers than winners.

Love the "He Who Shall Not Be Named" moniker. Thankfully, "He Who Has Been Shamed" is no longer loitering in the media.
