How did BC United's decision to withdraw from the election contribute to its current financial predicament?

The party's decision to withdraw from the election, ostensibly to avoid splitting the centrist vote and handing the NDP a large majority, resulted in the loss of crucial per-vote subsidies (\$1.5 million last year) and reimbursement for half of election expenses. This strategic gamble backfired, leaving the party in dire financial straits and vulnerable to lawsuits.

"What are the immediate implications of the increasing use of the notwithstanding clause by Canadian provinces, and how does the federal government respond?"

"The Canadian federal government opposes the use of the notwithstanding clause (Section 33) to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, viewing it as a measure of last resort. Provinces have used Section 33 over a dozen times since 1982, most recently in Quebec to uphold Bill 21, banning religious symbols for public workers. This has prompted a legal challenge and a potential Supreme Court case, with the federal government set to intervene."

How does the failed GST holiday reflect the broader challenges the Liberal government faces in regaining public support and managing its fiscal policy?

The PMO's push for more spending clashes with Ms. Freeland's commitment to fiscal targets, creating internal friction and jeopardizing her credibility. This reflects a broader pattern of ineffective policy decisions aimed at boosting popularity.

How did the dynamics of Freeland and Trudeau's relationship contribute to her resignation?

Freeland's loyalty to Trudeau, mirroring her past loyalty to Andrew Gowers at the Financial Times, contrasts sharply with Trudeau's apparent lack of reciprocal loyalty. Her meteoric career, marked by significant achievements in rescuing trade deals and managing the COVID-19 response, seemingly ended abruptly due to perceived political maneuvering by Trudeau. This highlights the complex dynamics of power and loyalty within Canadian politics.

How did President-elect Trump's perspective on trade and border security shape the meeting's dynamics and results?

Trump's focus on a perceived border crisis and trade deficit, rather than collaborative solutions, reflects his belief in trade as a zero-sum game. His insistence on tariffs, despite economic consensus against them, aligns with his pattern of defying expert advice. The lack of progress highlights the challenges of negotiating with Trump, whose decisions seem driven by personal beliefs and a desire for dominance.
