Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot
With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

No, Mark Carney Didn’t Sell Off U.S. Treasuries To Ambush Trump. He Sold Credibility.
No coordinated bond dump. No economic sabotage. Just disciplined diplomacy and a Prime Minister who understands how global markets really work.

Plastic grass vs real grass…
Plastic: sheds microplastics, can't be recycled, increases risk of floods, devoid of life, heats up in summer.
Real: acts as a natural soakaway for rainwater, provides food and shelter for wildlife, stays cool in summer.
