627 @JonathanWNV @PattyHajdu Mar 29 and there are 32 long term advisories, 25 short term advisories, and an additional 21 advisories in BC. 2 more short term advisories added in as many days. FNMI people deserve better. Especially as we are 2 years after your promised fix date.
"...this gov't is a 7-yr story of a deteriorating rel'ship with businesses that make their own decisions in competitive mkts. But desperate times lead to desperate measures. Suddenly Trudeau & Freeland are willing to trust CEOs. Will wonders never cease." https://paulwells.substack.com/p/chrystia-freelands-invisible-hand?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
