Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

the craziest part is that it isn't the governments money, its the tax payers' that have already cut that check(cheque) so... that money is technically in escrow until they use it to pay for everything congress passes or something like that but this administration doesn't believe in laws and stuff...

I mean who got to Europe first? It depends on who you ask... and this is also the reason Europeans were able to overpower Indigenous people when they arrived, they were warring in Europe and needed to develop weapons of mass destruction of the time, guns, Indigenous people were just living life.

see I do have an issue with the characterization here, they didn't "get" here first, although technically yes, but they were always here or at least before recorded modern history itself, 10-15 thousand years at least cave drawings and the like are literally carved in stone.. so it wasn't a race.

Columbus day should really be a day to honor native Americans. We won't hold our breath, because the European culture has evolved into MAGA. The same culture that caused the black plague, 100 year war, slavery, colonialism, and a discredited science type called eugenics.

they will never ever reconcile this, its fun and dangerous to watch their heads explode from doing all those mental gymnastics to try to make it make sense, they can't, hell I can't either, thats because these ideas are opposite ends of the same cruelty measuring stick.
