This has nothing to do with West vs East. It is about a parliamentary abuse. All of Canada suffers because of this. The Liberals circumvented Parliament and have dishonoured the democratic process. It was done by a minority government using an opportunity to further their agenda without debate.

Steve,

In this case I agree with everything you have said. But from the perspective of The West, the question “how did Trudeau and the Liberals get elected into power in the first place?” is the true root of the problem, since none of this would be happening if a conservative party had been elected instead. The answer to that question is that the interests of Manitoba westward were trampled by Ontario eastward, as usual.
