  • Are Indigenous populations deforesting the Amazon? Are they forcing oil pipeline projects that cause massive oil spills that pollute rivers and lakes for thousands of years? Do they force mining projects that pollute earth for thousands of years? Did they invent forever chemicals that have now pollute every single square inch of earth? No, they live sustainably.






  • No thanks. I don’t trust them after what they did to Nortel. It’s much better for Canada to build a high-speed train line and more LRTs all across Canada because:

    • Building transit allows us to train our workers for these types of projects. Workers gain new skills which can be used for more transit projects.
    • Relying on auto manufacturing results in federal and provincial governments dumping billions of investment incentives into these companies for production runs that are essentially limited time only. Once the production run is up after 5 or so years, they ask the government for more money again or they threaten to move production.
    • Makes our communities walk-able, safer, and makes travelling more convenient.
    • Our roads in major cities are already at or above capacity and we can’t keep jamming our roads with more and more cars.
