Canadians should be deeply concerned. Smith and Ford are pushing reckless projects without basic knowledge of the geography or any regard for the environmental damage they’d cause.

Canada's two top grifters-Danielle Smith and Doug Ford-are bragging about an oil pipeline through the isolated sub-arctic wetlands to a deep seat port that doesn't exist.
They have never been to James Bay. If they had they would know about the silt/shallow water.
There ain't no deep sea.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

He can’t sell himself as a defender of taxpayers when he is squatting at Stornaway, his by-election to get back into the HOC will cost almost $2 million and he also expensed $8 million last year, more than any other MP. Time to rid Canada of the riff raff, write your MP.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.
At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

To build a sustainable, just, less US-dependent economy, Canada needs a new industrial strategy. In the Toronto Star, we argue that this should include using public procurement not only to “buy Canadian” but also to transform challenges like food security & climate crisis into market opportunities.
Mark Carney should take Canada’s biggest challenges and make them open for business
The prime minister's "mandate for change" must include a change in Canada's industrial strategy.

Doug Ford bulldozed Ontario Place. Now he’s back with Bill 5—legislation that guts environmental protections so developers can pave over wetlands and woodlands with little accountability.
And here’s the thing: these reckless decisions don’t just harm ecosystems. They silence the watchdogs.
