But as someone whose name may or may not matter when he’s older, I didn’t want it to cast a shadow over him. I know what that’s like.

I don't blame her for Jasper burning down, if that's what you're driving at.
I think she's dead serious about selling Canada out in order to shield the oil and gas industry. I don't think that rises to the level of treason because she's not a federal official.

We don't accuse people of treason unless they've actually committed it.
Remember when people accused Trudeau of treason for doing COVID-related stuff?

Blaming Guilbeault for this is like blaming a doctor for signing the death certificate of someone who slipped and fell in their own shower.
It also includes this wonderful typo (it's "diluent", not "diligent").

I would gently suggest that academics with tenure have a different outlook on this issue than journalists who have to fight for mind and market share.
