Another proof that we have too many levels of goverment.

Nonsense. Canada’s a big country, and we need the levels we have because the provinces really do have different geographies, economic and environmental needs and cultural balances. And cities need administrations. You’re keen on reducing democratic participation, Steve Q. I see no value in it unless you believe in dictatorship.

This is actually a pretty reasonable power play on Legault’s part to get the Canadians to commit another $300 million to the Quebec tramway. Give us the money of we screw up your election announcements!

It could also tremendously backfire for the CAQ. If the Liberals make the announcement anyway, it could look just as it is: “Here’s all this funding we, the Federal Liberals, want to give you! Your provincial government is not allowing you to have it.”
Also, Steve Q, I don’t know what you’re on about, but you tend to make these kinds of statements and seldom provide anything to back them up.
