Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

In an interview with the francophone newspaper in NB (Acadie Nouvelle) Poilievre stated today that the forest fires are not due to climate change but to the fact that deadwood is not being cleared from the forest floor. This absurdity is infuriating.

We have fought for years to get those protections, to have environmental protections, to make sure buildings don't collapse or burn too quickly. We have all seen examples of the disasters that can happen. Builders can't be trusted to do the right thing if they can save money.Yes to red tape.
