“Musk’s efforts to undermine trust in the election are doing serious & possibly irreparable harm to our democracy. He is helping to bring what was once a fringe element...into mainstream & helping normalize irrational conspiracy theories and distrust...” shorturl.at/QtuXu

The Guardian, The Financial Times, and the NYT have all just reported on Russian misinformation amplifying Trump’s lies about elections.

Before the next Federal election, I want every voting Canadian to take note of this CIVICS lesson…confirmed by Mike Moffatt, Smart Prosperity Institute Senior Director of Policy & Innovation. So who do you think is responsible for housing?
Read it & weep. This era of misinformation is very scary. Experts who tell the truth are "dangerous to people who cannot abide by the agonizing constraints of reality, as well as those who have financial and political interests in keeping up the charade." shorturl.at/PqNXN

"If we do not rapidly reduce our emissions (via the carbon levy and other measures) and if we do not blunt the impacts of climate change, the food price increases of the past year or two will be eclipsed by much larger supply and price shocks in coming years."
Please spread this:
“The National Farmers Union argues that claims that the so-called carbon tax is causing food inflation can be easily proved as inaccurate.”
☢️Pretty damning for Poilievre & the Cons. They’re going against the National Farmers Union.

Canada now has Dentacare and Pharmacare, lifted almost 100% boil water advisories, bent the carbon emissions curve while refunding us, $10/day childcare, lowest inflation rate and highest economic growth trajectory in the G7… but we want Trudeau out? You can’t make this shit up.
“This isn’t a debate about how much emphasis to put on one issue or another. The unpopularity of the carbon tax is, to a large degree, driven by voters misunderstanding it and having the facts wrong.” Maybe this will helps Cdns understand how much the Cons are lying to them. 🤞🤞
This Guardian article begins by making it clear it is Poilievre who is responsible for the potential ending of the 'carbon tax' and a decrease in Canadians caring about our environment:

At the end of the day, remember: Ontario Place was a public park that was designed for all Ontarians.
Doug Ford and FordNation have given public space away to a private corporation that will turn it into a private spa that can be enjoyed by the wealthy...
She's so cool. This book sounds great and I loved reading about her inspirations and the thought process behind it.

Imagine what this fox is experiencing tonight, after every tree on Ontario Place West Island--its home--has been destroyed.

They sliced down these trees overnight and behind fences because they knew people would be outraged if they saw. And by them I mean @fordnation and @thermecanada. Don't ever forget.
Unfortunately there was a large amount of trees cut down last night at Ontario Place West Island. This is what remains of Moose Hollow, once filled with trees meant to evoke the Algonquin. We’re asking supporters to come down to West Island ramp entrance to bear witness. #topoli

This is so profound that it must be re-shared by all. WHAT SAY YOU, Mr. Poilievre?

On Thursday, at the Standing Committee on Science and Research, we heard from W. Scott Thurlow of Dow Chemical that “the Price on Carbon is one of the reasons why we are investing in Canada.”
