Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Somebody, somewhere. Figured out a way to make money from exploiting human fear.
In this case, it was exploiting the fear of needles.
Trypanophobia. A very real thing to many people.
From my time in the service getting immunization shots.

Conservatives are not getting this memo.
They've doubled down with Poilievre by show of support and applause in the House of Commons.
They don't fucking care what Canadians want.

Drop it. Let them hang themselves politically speaking.

A little known formula:
Make politics so that the average Canadian loses interest, tunes out.
It allows the Ottawa Bubble to continue to play Power and Politics. Not the show. The real thing.

Good question.
The Press lets him get away with so much! During the last election questions had to be submitted to him in advance, plus his team would only allow certain reporters to ask questions? Plus reporters had to be far away from him??
That’s exactly what Trump does.

It really shouldn't be this complicated about wearing a Poppy.
You are free to decide, and shaming those who decide not to, goes against the very freedoms soldiers died fighting for.
Media, Houtson, are making it to be shamed if you don't comply.
Every year, we play this game.
