Who among us hasn't jonesed for a T-shirt that's emblazoned with "Polluters over People," right? #EPA #Trump #USA
The EPA is taking a major step toward changing its math to favor polluters over people: It’s going to stop tallying up the dollar value of lives saved and hospital visits avoided by air pollution regulations.
In the eyes of Trump’s EPA, human health is now literally worthless

If allowing less than 5% of the our current importing automobiles from #China into #Canada (in exchange for major concessions on canola & seafood exports) is going to put our auto sector at risk, what the hell is the impact of #Trump saying he doesn't want auto's to be made in Canada? #EVs #Autos
