I think I’ve read all the same updates everyone else has, and I haven’t seen anything that leads me to believe contract gutting is what DL desires. Point me to where our MEC has said that’s what is at stake please. Anything else is mind-reading and speculation.

The idea that something vaguely similar to this situation happened 20 years ago, therefore it accurately predicts future events, is a logical fallacy.
