Well it wouldn't be the first time the Conservatives came up with what they thought was a clever and appealing (ie. populist) idea that would win them votes and pushed it hard, only to later find it taken by someone else.

It might be better if they took a different approach in the future, because this one does not seem to be working as well for them as they expected.

Since most new prison space ends up in Edmonton, more prisons might be a bad idea.

Stick it in High River where our Premier lives. They could use the jobs there

Vegreville or Medicine Hat best places for new Prisons. Our Max is in pretty bad shape. even after the last renovations. Ft Sask is old but in decent shape. The women's Prison had a major upgrade and expansion a few years back. The Children's Prison is getting an upgrade now. The youth Centre near the Yellowhead is getting and expansion and renovation. The other Provincial and Federal Facilities in the Province all need upgrades. So I can see the Feds building a new prison somewhere.

Amen! Build 'em out in the Maritimes where they need the employment generators.

For repeat violent offenders the farther from civilization the better -- a place like Fort Chip (but remotely located vis-a-vis town) would be ideal.

I am sure Fort Chip would love to house the worst of the worst in their community.

Well there is a centre (Healing Centre) but is a jail, in Rankin Inlet. If you want out of the way hard to get to places.

Doug Ford put out an ad from Ontario government in the US of Ronald Regan making some anti-tariff statements back in the 80s.

Trump ticked off by it. Announced tonight he is cancelling all trade negotiations with Canada.

I imagine Carney will be giving Ford a talking to for doing that.
Carney knows you can't piss off a petulant child (Trump) so you need to soothe them into listening to you.

He needs much more than a talking to. I think this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back between the two of them.
