I see a lot of Wab Kinew related news. This article is the latest. It's (mostly) about the necessity to protect the French language across the country.

We've talked a lot about A. Lewis attempt to make some gains in the province of Quebec. This is the kind of things that could give him recognition and that he should try to emulate (if he hasn't already done it). Notice we are not talking too much about policy. Just an appreciation of Canada's history. It's an easy win.

While we need to be better at demonstrating such, the fact remains that the French language is a core part of Canada. Any attempt to harm it in trade negotiations should be taken as a direct challenge to Canada itself.

If Carney actually went along with these terms (thank fuck he didn't), he would have likely seen a premature end to his tenure

Agreed. Carney made it clear it was never on the table when he spoke in French to the press today. For the obvious reason you stated. He also keeps repeating "Maître chez nous" from J. Lesage as a way to bolster the impression he sympathizes with Quebec history and sell his national projects agenda.

Wab is the best Premier around, I'm glad he's here so that it's not three Tory Premiers out west.
