Poilievre and the Conservatives rail about food prices while partnering with a family tied to grocery price-fixing and record profits. You can’t fight the cost of living while bankrolled by those driving it.

“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”
I read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned.
Research proves that bike lanes are good for business. So why do so many stores and restaurants still oppose them?

A Conservative government, of course, would scrap every climate regulation Greenpeace holds dear.
The whole point here -- the WHOLE point -- is to a) repair the industrial carbon pricing system, and b) pour enough political concrete on it so it can survive a change in federal government.
