Eby slams Ottawa nach der Feds Slash Ost Coast Tarife

He ran on it and did it. I didn’t like that promise but you can’t blame a politician for carrying out a campaign promise whether it was good or not.

Why use the word „slam“ instead of „criticizes“ or „request fair treatment“ – it’s rage baiting.

I’m sure that the request has been made and they’re looking into it.

I know this conversation is an artefact of our constitution, but can I just say we need to rethink the role of the federal government.

[*I know why but*] Why is the federal government regulating the prices of ferries but can’t regulate designated learning institutions? Or, why can’t the federal government standardized internationally trained doctor residencies?

Because of Section 91 and 92 of the constitution. I prefer a smaller federal government with a larger provincial one. But the designation of authorities we currently have is borderline absurd. And because politics filled with politicians who care more about power than principles, provincial politicians won’t yield any authority to the federal government.

I know Charlottetown and Meech Lake nearly killed the country, but if we want a government or an economy for the next century, we need a new division of powers. This is silly that the federal government is managing ferry rates in PEI, but can’t have a federal securities regulator.
