The news media thinks “defund the police” is some form of gotcha but the truth is that police budgets are way too high and teachers’ salaries are way too low.

This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.

I don’t know what’s more ridiculous: that they think Canada can groom and maintain our forests or that they think we are so far left.

Crazy to see Canada’s establishment turning to big government to pay for a pipeline, when in every other situation we’re told public ownership is dead end socialism.
