Les journalistes sur la colline, dont moi, ont reçu un projet de loi de plus de 200 pages moins de 30 min avant que les ministres répondent à des questions à ce sujet et en plein milieu d'un breffage avec des hauts fonctionnaires. un projet de loi dont l'intérêt public est majeur

Canada’s health minister Marjorie Michel is the daughter of a prime minister who went on to serve two of Canada’s. I went to Montreal to talk to her about the dying days of the Trudeau government, Carney’s leadership, and whether health care fits into his trade-oriented agenda.
Marjorie Michel sits at a cabinet table chaired by a prime minister who has both preserved and undone the legacy of the predecessor she faithfully served. thestar.com/politics/federal…

I’ve been in Nashville for only a few days, but Dolly’s imprint can be found in gas stations, restaurant bathrooms, alleyways, thrift stores, & music venues (and also in the 💖 of this Ottawa gal who loved listening to her tunes & making music with her fingernails Dolly-style.)

What’s more, if Alberta fails to address concerns that its law potentially violates the Canada Health Act, Ottawa may trigger a process to slap discretionary penalties on the province: something a federal government has never done before. New from me 👇🏽

Why hasn't the federal government weighed in on Alberta's public-private health care law? Health advocates think sensitivity around separatism is to blame. thestar.com/politics/federal…
