Oh, Why Bother?

It's just going to be blown on "awareness" or some such useless crap:

Parliament has granted cabinet wartime spending powers for ninety days. The bill was introduced in the Commons at 10:15 am, sped through the Senate and was signed into law by 12:14 pm Friday amid fears of the coronavirus pandemic: “We do what it takes.”

Also - Quebec is "special":

While Premier Jason Kenney was in Ottawa seeking help from the federal government amidst a financial crisis that could cripple the Albertan economy, Quebec will be gifted $13.2 billion in equalization payments. 

The sum is $100 million more than the $13.1 billion the province received last year. Meanwhile, Alberta, alongside Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador, has not received any equalization payments since 2010. 

Quebec’s share of the equalization total was revealed by the province’s Finance Minister Eric Girard during a budget proposal.
