1st of all it is not a 5 hr trek to from Thunder
Bay to Toronto (some on foot). It is 17 hrs by car. News has more credibility
when it is accurate. The government always stalls until the people of the day are dead. That way they are never held to account. As for the Minister she is so clued out she probably thinks
“why don’t they stop eating the fish?”
