🚨 Boy, does this look like an important new paper on climate inequality!

#Mathur, the groundbreaking youth-led #climate Charter case brought by 7 young litigants challenging Ontario’s weakened 2030 target, has made history.

Lifelong MP Pierre Poilievre refusing to step down, but instead pleading to continue leading the Conservative Party and perpetuate his political career (despite losing his seat), attempting to reframe its defeat as a victory on many fronts, etc. Good luck with that. 😉
