“Do Every Interview”

Hell, yes! What is the PMO going to do if they do not like it? Fire you? Maybe call it Freeland’s gift. The PMO cannot afford to lose more ministers. Ministers have free rein in flooding the media. Use it.

And does not just apply to NES. This applies to all* the ministers that are capable of doing an interview. Explain what you are doing. Explain the options and why you are on the path you are. Show that you are reasonable and care. Defend your policies. Put up a fight. Flood the all kinds of media and drown out Poilievre who is really a one man band who only interacts with friendly media.

* Offer does not apply to minister Joly. She needs to go on extended trip to countries with no internet connection.

Yes to the above, and especially to your point about Joly, except that I maintain that she needs to go on permanent leave.

Hmmmmm .......

It seems to me that the issue of housing is a provincial responsibility and that, again, to me, simply eliminates it from the purview of the federal government.

Of course, the feds provide dollars and such toward housing but that is simply that they are taxing too much and crowding the correct jurisdiction - the provinces - out of taxing room to be able to properly fund such programs.
