There’s a way forward: Trudeau should hold an open, televised federal-provincial conference

The Canadian public needs to actually see the politicians struggling with these issues. One forum would be an open televised a federal-provincial conference. The prime minister should immediately call one.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Quebec Premier François Legault. Provincial premiers are getting whipsawed, forced to choose between lockdowns and opening up to keep the economy going. The previous unified federal-provincial approach appears to be cracking. And Canadians are worried, very afraid, writes Ian Waddell. The Hill Times photographs by Andrew Meade
