“Pierre Poilievre can be tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries and the Canadian Gas Association. His inner circle is stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, and his campaign received major donations from oil industry insiders.” @taylornoakes.com

“Postmedia is the nation’s leading supplier of climate change denial and pro-oil industry propaganda, so it’s not surprising that they would dismiss academic research and rail against bike lanes when they provide an inexpensive solution to interrelated emission, pollution and congestion problems.”

Latest bit of Montreal 'bikelash' sidesteps the facts to please bike-lane haters

The findings of a study about bike lanes vs car infrastructure have been twisted by a Montreal publication in a cheap bit of bikelash.

Pierre Poilievre wants to be PM — but still refuses the security clearance needed to access classified intelligence.

You can’t lead a country when you’re not cleared to know what it’s facing.

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
