The eye-opening process began with a Sunday morning telephone to Horgan from federal Intergovernmental Relations Minister Dominic LeBlanc.Horgan, the chair of the council of the federation, was taken aback.
Horgan gave what he later described as a “candid” response to a “disingenuous” outreach on the eve of the conference.Article content One-upping LeBlanc, he said that the federal contribution was more like 40 per cent, counting the value of the taxing power that Ottawa transferred to the provinces back in the 1970s.
As all this sank in — the perfunctory phone call, the one-two punch by the federal ministers delivered on national television — John Horgan’s usually upbeat demeanour gave way to a mixture of anger and frustration. This time last year, he and Trudeau sat down at the White Spot in Coquitlam in for a bag lunch photo op that went national.
“I sat down with the prime minister last November and I had just come out of surgery,” Horgan recounted.Article content
Trudeau charm has turned into Trudeau smarm.
More postmedianet propaganda yawn
2/2 You want more Fed money? Fine, then two tracks. Pressure the fed AND fix the system at the same time.
1/2 This is not political analysis. Quit talking about personalities and friendships. Healthcare is a provincial responsibility. Horgan is responsible for BC’s healthcare like Christie Clark was before him. He had different priorities, like Site C.
Is this a white spot ad
jjhorgan is naive if he thought his relationship w. Trudeau was anything else. And let's not forget that health care is a provincial responsibility. Horgan has failed the province w. the highest number of excess deaths in 2021. Blaming Trudeau is just scapegoating him. bcpoli
Both these kooks deserve prison time
Ya think jjhorgan and your boss theJagmeetSingh is in bed with him…literally!
Can we stop with all the bromances? It makes it impossible for women to participate in an equal way.
Meh. Not a useful report.
Duped like a fraudulent romance scam
wow what a couple of 'regular guys'... Remember it's- Rules for thee, not for me
Just remember folks. Universe always balances itself no matter what they try
Millions of us figured that out when he won PM & immediately canceled electoral reform he’d promised when campaigning. After months of pushing JT’s covid lies, vaccines that aren’t one & propaganda it’s great seeing Horgan getting shafted as the rest of us have been by him.
Lol. Is this article some how insinuating horgsns friendship had altruistic motives?
Slow on the uptake!
Noooooo! Who would think! The man is shallow!
Duh!
He’d be very naive if he didn’t know this before the end of the “bromance.”
What else would you expect from a narcissist?!
How cynical!!
Not exactly a surprise. The history is there for all to see
All political friendships are self interested
Obviously
