the opposition talking about how the government is handling the covid19 file is panic inducing when they know Canada's response is locally based, they should focus on what is actually important at the federal level like how the will backstop health workers, industry and workers. the WHO actually singled out Canada as a model for other countries to follow.
really what studies say fossil fuels have a hundred year frontier? they are done they just want to extract every last dollar from it and when they all banckrupt their companies in the end, they will leave Alberta and ultimately the Canadian taxpayer with the cleanup bill!
Evan I honestly wish you would not interrupt your guests as much, love the show, love CTV but your interruptions come off as rude, I know your just trying to keep the show moving forward but at the cost of coming off as a reporter that's a prick just isn't worth it. 👍 love the show minus the interruptions 👍
