Carney on Canada becoming a leader in green technology: "You just have to look at where China and others are going. We have an enormous opportunity in this country to leapfrog the United States. The United States has taken its eye off the ball on this."

It’s an assault on the rights of migrants, refugees, and all Canadian citizens. Rather than keeping us safe, this bill creates a deportation machine that drags us ever closer to the horrors happening in the US.
