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.

Siddall, who left the federal mortgage insurer in 2021, said on a 2019 podcast that Canadians had "glorified this idea of home ownership" and under his leadership the Corporation spent $450,000 of taxpayer money developing and promoting a home equity tax that would have raised an estimated $5.8 billion a year from homeowners.
The federal government only shelved the proposed tax after a public backlash that included then-Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole calling it outrageous and out of touch.
Siddall told the Commons finance committee in 2021 that tax policy was a matter for ...

Don’t get me wrong. I detest bike lanes. They are a huge hazard but…UCP, stick to your lane! (Pun intentional)
Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen says the provincial government will introduce bike lane legislation when MLAs return to the Legislature in late October, after more than 13,000 people used a provincial website launched last month to identify problem bike lanes.
