Never a better time to contact your newly elected MP and demand that we implement PR before the next election. So we don't have to exist in existential dread for weeks again, next election. There's too much at stake.

Nothing the Carney government is doing is good for the climate. Every single climate step they take is a deliberate step backwards. There's no hope for the climate here. None.

Carney sucks. I hate it because I was very vocal about voting for him. And in part that was because he talked about climate change, seemed to take it seriously, but we're going backwards after a summer of the country on fire and the NDP better get their leader shit together, man. We were duped.
