The Progressive Conservatives will be the largest party in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly.

It is too close to say whether they will finish with a majority or not.

It’s awful. I cannot believe what Palestinians have endured. The suffering is inhumane. I’ll always remember how we failed them.

At this point, I don’t think there is a nation, organization, law, or governing body on this planet that will hold any government to account for anything they do.

It’s information only. That’s my stance

I don’t understand why government’s continue to make decisions that cost more in the long run, cause such suffering. The cost to communities for healthcare impacts alone, not to mention any other aspect of life, isn’t comparable to profits. It just isn’t.

The planned expansion of #LNG production, something Carney’s government is encouraging, could also “lock in emissions-intensive growth for years to come,” the Canadian Climate Institute said. This could jeopardize even Canada’s next climate target. #cdnpoli
