L’ours polaire est le plus gros carnivore terrestre, mais les changements climatiques font fondre la glace de mer qui constitue son habitat. Pour les Fêtes, adoptez symboliquement un ours polaire et contribuez à protéger son habitat. 👉 giving.natureconservancy.ca/fr/?utm_camp...

The guy in the glasses at the bottom left is the former Poilievre staffer who led the charge to get me booted from the fact checking gig on CTV's Your Morning.
