Trudeau wants to use the occasion of his fourth First Ministers’ Meeting to roll out Morneau to recite the Liberal government’s greatest hits on unemployment and growth rates.
The premiers, under pressure to hold the government to account, are in resistance mode. Even an erstwhile ally, Alberta’s Rachel Notley, has told Trudeau to “cut the fluff,” so they can get down to business on the crisis facing her province. “We don’t need to waste time for people to take some kind of self-congratulatory victory lap,” she said.
Ontario’s Doug Ford is apparently prepared to walk out of the meeting if it doesn’t specifically deal with Trudeau’s proposal on the carbon tax.
