Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

"If we lose the CBC, we lose a piece of ourselves.” — Eric Peterson

Eric Peterson isn’t just a familiar face from Corner Gas and Street Legal. He’s one of Canada’s most respected actors—and in this powerful video, he speaks from the heart about why we must stand up for the CBC.

Poilievre has announced a "15% tax cut".
Fact check: It's not a 15% cut to your total taxes, it's a 15% cut to the minimum tax rate of 15%, meaning it's a 2.25% cut. And it won't happen until 2028.

Please help spread the word that the Conservatives are the only party planning to defund the CBC. With our public broadcaster gone, who will speak truth to power in rural and remote regions in French, English, and 8 First Nations’ languages?

Pierre Poilievre is speaking in Saskatoon today for what I'm seeing reporters there call the (likely) last press conference of the campaign.

I'm only a few minutes in and he's said several misleading/false claims (claiming the platform was Trudeau's, framing that dystopian report as a prediction)

The future of the CBC is on the line—and your voice matters.

Take action today: Call Poilievre and tell him hands off the CBC. Let him know exactly what you think of his plan to destroy our national public broadcaster.

Call now: friends.ca/takeaction/c...

The CBC plays an important role in the democratic process as a trustworthy provider of information. So, why do the Conservatives vow to defund it? #FundtheCBC #VotetoSavetheCBC #Facts4Fairness

We also have the CBC, with very-high-factuality reporting in English, French, and eight First Nations languages. But if the Conservatives defund it, we’ll be in real trouble. #FundtheCBC #VotetosavetheCBC #Facts4Fairness
Canada is ranked 1 in education, 3 in safety, 4 in justice, 4 in overall best country.

We are not a broken country. We have not suffered a lost decade.

Our existence is in the balance.

Vote.
