It’s not easy for Canada to completely restructure its economic system away from a partnership with the United States, a partnership Canada knows… that EVERY nation now knows… can’t be trusted. But it’s the right thing to do. And we’ll be stronger for it.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

CompassNZ is despicable. Taking our tax dollars to provide disgusting mouldy, contaminated food to our children. Read their website, according to CompassNZ they’re “Nourishing Aotearoa’s Future: The School Lunch Collective in Action” The board should be named and shamed for this fiasco. 1/2 #nzpol
