Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session:

Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.”

Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health.

Debate was shut down, and scientists, public health and environmental experts were not allowed to testify before the bill was passed.

Another gift to powerful corporations at the expense of Canadians.

Legislation by lobbyists.

@avilewis You need to talk to your neoliberal BC NDP folks. Katrina Conroy pulled exact same economic BS card - to defend her approvals to spray glysophate over massive areas in BC. You have plenty of capitalist ecocidal maniacs, within your own party. BC NDP behave like Conservatives.
