I, I would have liked to have seen him
call an election, frankly, I think the real
problem that we have right now is that we're facing
a US president that has a 4 year mandate,
and we need a prime minister that has a 4
year mandate so that we have that strong voice at
the table in negotiations. I, I share uh
Premier Doug Ford's concerns that this has got to be
the the singular obsession of the federal. A federal
government until the inauguration and after once we see exactly
what those tariffs look like for us, but the
, the liberals have been distracted. They're going to
continue to be distracted and for heaven's sakes, it
looks like we might not even have that certainty until
as late as May. So this isn't the optimal
outcome. I, I would have far preferred to
have seen the Prime Minister announce an election today.
