Forrest fire management is also a provincial issue. Conservative Premiers in every single province have under funded fire services and underpaid them so severely, it does need to be addressed. Conservatives should start with Doug Ford whose government voted against doing more in June of this year.

Rethinking Canada’s β€˜Productivity Problem’ | The Tyee Prime Minister Mark Carney says weak productivity limits government spending. Jasmine Ramze Rezaee says that’s not the whole story. A Tyee Q&A.

'If we can find $9 billion to increase our defence spending, we can find funding for social programs. We choose not to. It’s a reflection of political priorities.'

B.C. Premier David Eby completes transition from LNG doubter with victory tour of Kitimat plant Vaughn Palmer: B.C. premier says his government's working hard to get LNG Canada to approve proposed Phase 2 expansion

It also distracts from the horrors of the parties and governments which we were told would have our backs, the BCNDP being a case in point, whom are doing their level best to destroy the world, the climate, and our children's futures through their rabid support of LNG..

Why isn’t the Canadian government acting in line with what Canadians actually think about Palestine?

A new poll from Angus Reid shows 52% of Canadians now say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

Will this finally push the government to end Canada's complicity?

Covid changed the game, and we must adapt.

Once upon a time handwashing wasn’t standard in hospitals.

Gloves weren’t standard until the HIV/AIDS pandemic. 🧡
