"At a time where our health system is collapsing, our public schools are a disaster and we’re facing ecological catastrophe, the CAQ (and the PQ) understands well that if they whip up enough racist sentiment, the population might forgive them for doing nothing about the real issues we all face."

It angers me that the National guard are deployed in DC for no good reason but were never deployed on Jan 6 2021, when an angry mob of thousands stormed the capitol and called for hanging the VP and killing other members of congress

Some people say Carney okayed the new pipeline because he thinks Danielle Smith will never get the financial backing she needs to build it but I think Carney's overlooking the fact Danielle can simply apply for a Ontario Skills Development Funds grant to pay for the pipeline.

The issues raised in these resolutions are all provincial govt responsibilities. They are part of the costs the SK govt ( along with schools) are downloading to municipalities. If the feds do pick up the slack here, why do we have provincial govts?

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

This is the real question, has anti-Ottawa rhetoric made it impossible for Smith to satisfy her base? If so how does she pivot to blame Ottawa if no private pipeline investment comes forward? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I don't understand the people in his video. Why are they avoiding it, even going onto the road? Pavements are for people. Obstruct these things, and kick them into the gutter if necessary
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.
