February 22, 2025BC goes to war
The BC Legislature returns with a Speech from the Throne that’s big on war rhetoric but thin on substance. The first two bills are introduced as a poll shows the NDP with a healthy lead. At the same time, the NDP introduced changes to address pharmacy kickbacks and opioid diversion allegations. Federally, we (Ontario & Quebec) are getting high speed rail (maybe, eventually) and the CBC will be reformed and funded (maybe, eventually). We also have some fundraising numbers for the federal Liberal leadership race and policy from Mark Carney and the also-rans. And it looks like Ruby Dhalla is out (made official after recording). Finally, introducing:
