The man voted against every single thing that would benefit Canadian society. From meals for hungry school kids, affordable child care, medicine for diabetics, family allowance increases, old age pension increases the list is endless. The man and the Party are as Anti-Canadian as you can be !!
That's Coleman.
Columbus is a company that makes winter coats.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”
New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution

Scary thought: So since it’s not the guns, does this mean that the USA must have almost 700% more homicidal maniacs than all the other countries on this list combined? 🤔

I have zero issue with people saying “we have x,y,x concerns and want to see more information on how they’re addressed in other jurisdictions”.

But adopting the defeatist attitude that a problem which has been solved many times over around the globe is somehow impossible for us is not productive
Disappointed to see the reactionary UBCM call for repeal of single stair building legalization in BC.

Nearly the entire world builds single stair buildings safely and has been for decades. There’s tons of data. The idea they are inherently dangerous has absolutely no merit to it.

Conservatives in 🇨🇦 once stood for protecting individual rights against the power of govts.
No more: “Since [2017]…[the notwithstanding clause] has been invoked 8 times in 4 provinces [to suspend Charter rights], all of them governed by conservative…parties.” (Inc SK) 1/
Sorry, out of 🎁s.
Opinion: If the notwithstanding clause is the nuclear option, Ottawa should respond proportionately
The federal government appears prepared to stand by as Quebec eviscerates the Charter

We have spent more than a decade uploading our politics and civil society to a cloud owned by oligopolistic tech firms. As the Trump administration moves to take over those companies, it is a direct threat to democracies everywhere. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
