We're calling on the Carney government to deliver a People’s Power Grid, an East-West Grid that provides affordable, reliable, renewable electricity to people from coast to coast to coast.
It would be a way better deal than that pipeline we bought.

The latest bit of craziness that is going under the radar, but we shouldn't let it:
- Background: Canadian Nuclear Laboratories as part of Atomic Energy of Canada used to be a Crown asset ; after $18 billion of public funds it was privatized by Harper for $17 million. Sold to who? good old SNC Lavelin!
- SNC Lavelin recently renamed itself to Atkins Realis, I can't imagine why./s
- Now they are selling Canadian Nuclear Laboratories to a US consortium, along with a huge public 20 year $24 billion contract.
- The US consortium operates nuclear weapons facilities
- WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!
- Elbows Up?
-see petition below - there's more - we haven't discussed the nuclear waste yet...guess where it is going ...not with the money!

New report uses shipping records to prove multiple ongoing Canadian exports of military components to Israel despite government claims to the contrary
"This analysis of commercially-available export data uncovered 47 shipments from Canada-based arms manufacturers to Israeli defence manufacturers between October 2023 and July 2025. Crucially, the 47 direct shipments traced here are only “a glimpse,” not an exhaustive record of all military supplies Canada sent to Israel during this time....
The Canadian government appears to have pursued a strategy of rushing through a record-breaking number of arms export permit approvals to Israel prior to publicly committing to pause approving any new ones. This was then quietly undermined by a series of exceptions and loopholes that were only acknowledged when exposed through media investigations or parliamentary scrutiny."
‘Israeli military killing civilians for fun’
“This residential building was made up of five levels. Last night, it was flattened to the ground by the Israeli fighter jets,” the paramedic said. “The air strikes caused all 50 people inside to be killed or buried alive. We managed to recover only a few.”

Buy second hand, and then figure out ways to repurpose things instead of throwing them out.
I think the thing I repurpose the most is yogurt containers, to be used as "tupperware".
Here's another good one, make holes in the lid of an empty milk jug and use it as a watering can. (This is my dad)
