The Trudeau government also didn't help themselves because they allowed the premiers, the media, and the leaders of the NDP and CPC to blame the federal government for shit that's provincial jurisdiction without calling any of them out for it. Complete communications collapse.
Most of this is because the population are too lazy to learn civics and jurisdiction and the mainly US Con owned MSM happily go along with it.
I know. My point is that the Trudeau government had 10 years to do anything about either or both of those issues and did not.
They spoke about jurisdiction a lot. Many chose not to listen. Pouring out bottles of booze and $1 beer is what people want, unfortunately.
Media has a very large hand in that.
The largest hand.
They have a huge part in blaming the feds for issues under provincial jurisdiction, but they are not to blame for how the Trudeau government failed to address that.
