Fantastic list! Where’d you find it?

For anyone scrolling, add Rustica to the frozen pizza list. Siwin for excellent dumplings. Cheemo for perogies. I’ve just found them in the past few months and they’re all really well made.

I also love the NDP idea to target the techbro CEOs by putting a halt on critical minerals exports to the USA.

And NatPo are absolute trolls, looking to cause more division on exactly the day we don’t need it. They knew there was no answer for their questions, which could obviously wait til another day - they just wanted him/Canada to look weak or divided.

Crap… We’re about to hear a whole lot of noise online about how divided we all are on this, aren’t we?

Don’t believe the hype. The Murdoch media machine, the Brietbart, Rebel, Manning Centre, Twitter, Facebook, and bot army machine are all going to turn this into a story about internal division. Whatever story or Debate they push into your FEED, remember that you were 100% onside with your neighbours today.

Just as well. We need to develop climate solutions fast and work on food security; healing our battered healthcare system… and that should be a lot easier without that troglodyte government dragging us backward with Christian Science and buying up our diabetes meds supply for cosmetic weightloss. Gonna be a rough go for awhile though.

I can’t wrap my head around being against figuring out how to feed people while the world’s climate drastically changes.

And it’s all one project, north or south of the US-CA border.

td;dr of the link - 2013 Harper government in Canada passed an omnibus bill that muzzled scientists studying the tar sands, fish farms, climate change… there were thousands of very sudden job cuts to fisheries and oceans, thousands of cuts to unionized support staff, he eliminated the Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission, etc…

As Maude Barlow and renowned freshwater scientist David Schindler wrote in The Star Phoenix, “The Harper government is systematically dismantling almost every law, regulation, program or research facility aimed at protecting freshwater in Canada and around the world.” Harper even killed the Global Environmental Monitoring System, an inexpensive project that monitored 3,000 freshwater sites around the world for a UN database.

“This government has abandoned evidence-based policy-making to pursue its own brand of policy-based evidence-making.” - Megan Leslie (NDP).
