Yep, you heard that right... Republican lawmakers are complaining that Canada is ruining their summer.
Instead of blaming arson and poor forest management, let's address the elephant in the room: the FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

1. Starmer was warned and warned that his benefits cuts were not just cruel and unfair, but a political disaster. He dismissed the warnings, even this week, as no more than "noises off". Now, as the disaster materialises, he's desperately backtracking.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
