I saw my first Mercedes Econic garbage truck in Newcastle the other day and was so excited! This is the kind of vehicle we should be demanding in Canada to stop the killing of pedestrians and cyclists. Canada has hewed to the USA safety standards, but now is the time to go our own way.
Canada should make side guards on trucks mandatory; the usual excuse no longer works
Now that we are plotting an independent course from the USA, it’s time to develop our own safety strategies and standards.

Poilievre's campaign revolved around Canadians paying too many taxes. He lost his seat, and so is now unelected. Will taxpayers still have to pay for his housing and other expenses? #cdnpoli
My takeaways
-Poilievre: Too many taxes and red tape. Tough on crime. Trudeau bad.
-Carney: I'll stand up to Trump.
-Singh: We need healthcare and worker rights.
-Blanchet: QC is different from Canada and needs respect. No pipelines. Carney never called me.

I think many voters in Canada are appalled at what's going on in the US. We are repulsed by injustice and indecency. So we've said no to Poilievre, who is a Canadian mini-Trump. #cdnpoli
