Often-conflicting interests can be reconciled, provided the prime minister and premiers of the day work together co-operatively and respectfully
Much of the legacy of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is at risk, for the simple reason that the Prime Minister made the mistake of assuming the federal government was superior to the governments of the provinces. It isn’t and they aren’t.
In child care, the Liberals were initially content to build on a program of direct payments to parents created by the previous Conservative government. But then came the new national program of subsidies for child-care spaces, which Ottawa negotiated with the provinces. Each province knows where the need is greatest in child care. The role of the federal government is to provide the necessary funding and let the provinces get on with the job.
Mr. Poilievre has vowed to abolish the carbon tax if he becomes prime minister. Polls suggest that if an election were held today, the Conservatives would win a substantial majority government.
