My piece in the @winnipegfreepress.com on #climate insincere politicians. They'll propose a laundry list of flowery promises & goals set far in the future. In reality they accomplish little. What's needed are clear priorities, hard targets & tough decisions.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

In 2022 Pierre poilievre was buying donuts for antivax protesters who were behind the movement that was, among other things, protesting hospitals and endangering health care workers, and is using that same violence that he helped facilitate as a campaign tool.
He is clearly unfit for public office
