this is not virtue signaling. It's following international, national and provincial law. If Canadian colonial government did anything other than acknowledge UNDRIP we would be inviting years of litigation that we would probably lose.

Bruce Pardy: Virtue-signalling devotion to reconciliation will not end well Like the proverb says, make yourself into a doormat and someone will walk all over you

Isnt it interesting how colonialists have been trampling on the rights of indigenous peoples for centuries, but the second the indigenous people start to regain some of those rights, it becomes objectionable...

UK may be on verge of triggering a โ€˜positive tipping pointโ€™ for tackling climate change Electric vehicle sales are racing ahead in the UK โ€“ but the switch to heat pumps is lagging behind.

To all of the nay sayers. It is possible to push climate action forward and still survive as a nation.

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change? Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

High quality, low cost, low impact housing. Built by and maintained by the state. Why are Canadian political leaders so afraid???

Definitely better than the other option would have been. Conservatives have definitely never been the friend of the worker, but Liberals aren't exactly our saviors either. Hopefully Carney follows through on his promises.

This is the only way to hold these gangsters accountable. Blaming the addict for the drug is a great way for them to avoid responsibility, but we must keep pushing our governments to identify and punish the perpetrators

Quantifying the damage that individual profiteers have contributed to our collective earth is the only fair way to figure out who is responsible. Blaming the addict for the drug is a time tested way for gangsters to avoid responsibility, but that does not mean it is moral or helpful in any way
