The moderator makes a completely biased, subjective statement based on no evidence to which the Green Party leader is forced to respond on live TV. This was grossly unprofessional and unfair. The moderator should apologize.

What a ridiculous question: “What happens to the BC economy when those ultra wealthy [$50m+] individuals move themselves and their money out of the province?” Jesus.

Someday, maybe, the Globe and Mail editorial board will muster the courage to demand that the Government of Canada take *action* in response to Israel's continued, egregious violations of international law.

"Alberta’s economy produces about $200,000 in gross domestic product for every employed worker, the highest in Canada. But the average worker gets only about $70,000 of that. So how federalism affects Alberta’s economic pie may be less important than how it affects each worker’s slice of that pie."
