Bill 5 is setting up the next Greenbelt scandal. The Ford government is giving themselves the power through Special Economic Zones to ignore every rule and law that protects the people and places we love. Endangered species, First Nationsโ€™ rights, nature, farmland, and workers are all at risk from this destructive legislation.

The American President says the upcoming tariffs are based on a โ€œterribleโ€ and โ€œstupidโ€ trade deal he brokered and signed in 2018. The tariffs, breaking the rules he negotiated, are meant to fix the agreement he brokered, which he refers to as stupid. Here is a photo of him signing that agreement he called โ€œgeniusโ€ at the time.

This is a Christmas Eve tradition in The Netherlands. The Dutch have never forgotten the sacrifices of Canadians. And neither should we.
The Dutch people honor their World War II liberators by lighting candles on Christmas Eve at all the war graves. At the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canadian cemetery in Groesbeek, thanks to hundreds of volunteers, a candle has been lit at each of the 2619 graves, and will stay burning tomorrow.
