Canada seized 3.7 tonnes of cocaine at border in nine-month period

It’s a sign that drugs continue to move easily through the U.S., despite promises by the Trump administration

Pierre Poilievre says Canadians can't afford nice things like fast passenger trains. . . I agree with @[email protected]. We *can* afford nice things. We just need to #TaxTheSuperRich! #cdnpoli

Solar panel waste is not something you need to concern yourself with. Even if people are upgrading panels after 10 years this waste is insignificant compared to sooooooooo many things. Recycling materials in solar panels is probably a good idea, but it's not something to stop you getting panels today.

If waste is a concern for you, you should be switching to solar panels since they produce so little waste compared to other energies like coal. Like hundreds of times less. You probably should be caring more about, tires, mattresses, single use plastics, vapes, the packaging everything comes before solar panels.

The right are not taking over Europe, they’re falling apart

As protestors march through London to oppose the far right, recent elections in Europe and beyond have shown that the left is winning back ground, says Ben Judah, partly as a result of the unpopularity worldwide of Donald Trump’s authoritarian and aggressive presidency
