The resignation of @s_guilbeault (aka Steven Guileault) as a minister of federal stuff is a great step forward for Canada.
He fucked Jasper Park (accelerating the fire). He fucked up electricity w/ paranoid "Clean Energy Regulations". He fucked up everything he could.
BYE BYE

No we don't. We want the government to lower the cost of energy so we can afford to heat our homes. We want them to unleash our economy instead of restricted it with climate policies so people can afford to buy a home (i.e. shelter)

Leonardo DiCaprio is very concerned about climate change.
Fun fact: His mega yacht emits more carbon in a single trip than your car in your entire lifetime.

The more you work the more you lose to government taxes & clawbacks.
Remove gatekeepers.
Make work pay in Canada.

astounding—even by the low standards set by all the various other grifters, hysterics, & haters paid out by Ottawa's various "anti-racism" slush funds: The same guy ranting about how Jews are "bags of feces" was hired by @CdnHeritage to train Cdn broadcasters in "anti-racism"...
It gets better - He was suspended from Twitter as @LaithMarouf but re-emerged with the new moniker.
He gets paid by @CdnHeritage (our tax dollars) under an anti-racism funding program: newswire.ca/news-releases/ca…
