The upcoming election in Canada could not be more consequential for our country. One thing for sure. Poilievre would sell us out to his right wing buddies in the US. We need a Prime Minister that will fight for Canada and Canadians.

It’s official. On Monday, when a whole lot was going on, the UCP quietly removed the ban on coal mining in the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies. The same ban put in place because you, Albertans, spoke out. We need you again. Coal is a threat to us all. A threat to our water. And water is life.
