Animals are protected under Canadian law from unnecessary suffering and distress. That’s why we filed a formal complaint over scenes on #FearFactor that may violate animal cruelty laws. Tag the show and demand an end to animal abuse on TV.

Politicians like John Hickenlooper might claim they don't accept donations from corporations, but when you accept over $50,000 from executives at Palantir, it's clear you're not serving your constituents. I hope all candidates join me in signing this pledge.

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs.
In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications.
One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board.
