I was once told by a First Nation lawyer that the treaties are international agreements
So this move by the UCP sets off all kind of alarm bells in my head
Regardless, Smith is always telling the feds to stay in their lane
She needs to follow her own advice

Used vehicles outsell new by a 3-1 margin. Finally, a robust used EV market has emerged in the USA.

Will that help to drive new EV sales?

I don't have an opinion on this. What do you think?

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”
