When WE got rid of Kenney with the majority of the push coming from groups like FB’s Holding MLA’s Accountable, they took credit for that piggy backing on it. NOW they are “calling for a referendum” regarding the APP? DS has already stated there will be a referendum once the figures have been given to the UCP, WHY is David not giving the party credit where credit is due? Maybe it’s just a bad day but he annoys me.

There was a lady there helping direct traffic. I didn't know who she was until she came over during a bit of a lull and introduced herself. She was the author of Thank You, Truckers! Canada's Heroes and Those Who Helped Them. Donna LaFramboise

LOYALTY TESTS AND LEADERSHIP: DOUG FORD, DANIELLE SMITH, AND A DANGEROUS QUESTION
