Can we just send them out into the school yard for an old-fashioned rough and tumble brawl?

Just 76 words ... 401 characters ... that’s all it took for BC NDP Premier John Horgan to make comment on the win by Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party over in Alberta last night.  Heck he’s used twice as many words to say he’s headed to for a meeting with the Governor of Washington State.

Here’s what the BC government media release from the Office of the Premier had to say:

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement on the results of Alberta's general election on April 16, 2019:

“This morning, I called Jason Kenney to congratulate him following his election win. Our brief conversation was constructive and focused on issues that matter to both Alberta and British Columbia. We agreed to talk about challenges in the days ahead”.

“I look forward to further conversations and working together in the interests of both of our provinces.”

Given the feuding that has gone on between BC and Alberta in the past couple of years, one might have expected more ... including the date of their first meeting, and when and where it will take place.

I read into the Premiers posting that we can expect more of the same with Alberta insisting that BC stop blocking the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion ... and BC saying Hell No, it won’t happen.

More of the same means on-going and continued fighting. 

Here's a suggestion; can we just send them out into the school yard for an old-fashioned rough and tumble brawl?  That way maybe at last we can get the issues decided once and for all.
