You are provincial NOT federal, you are over stepping your bounds. You don't need an election ... We need a federal election... Not provincial...

He already has a majority mandate. He is basically cashing in on a foreign affair to secure another majority. He is even going as far as buying votes by mailing every voter in the province $200. Mail not auto-deposit because it is a legal bribe.😂😂

Praying for you that you will find favour with God and man to do good for the people of Canada

Doug, you don’t need an election to turn off the energy tap to the US. Come Feb 1, we give you permission to go forward if those tariffs are imposed. Stop wasting time and get busy. My God already.
