Pierre Poilievre hasn't learned a thing
The more things change, it seems, the more the leader of the official opposition stays the same. Will his party's members give him the chance to run the same failed political playbook again?

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Electrifying postal vehicles is good for our wallets, our lungs, and the climate. Selling the vehicles we already paid for is a waste of taxpayer resources and is bad policy.
President Trump and Republicans’ massive tax legislation would force the government to undo billions of dollars in electric vehicle investments made by the U.S. Postal Service.
This would mean auctioning off nearly 7,200 brand-new postal EVs.
