I am glad Leonard Peltier has been pardoned. From what I have read, the evidence was not conclusive, and the behaviour of the FBI agents in the conflict was questionable. Pardonning, after 50 years in prison, a sick man who may have been wrongly convicted is appropriate.

So the federal dental-care program is dead. Trudeau asked both Singh and Blanchet for the votes needed to ensure final roll out happens this spring and Singh said, nah. A program he pushed for and got. And he’s just tossing it into the trash. This is why NDP is a non option. They are idiots.
