Instead of turning towards nationalism, in the face of rising fascism, we should turn to each other and the planet.

Our neighbours across the colonial border are grappling with what is shaping up to be a United States dictatorship, with outsized influence from a syndicate of the world’s richest men. With a federal election around the corner and geopolitical tensions rising across the world, this is a moment for Canada to dive into audacious changes that can unite us all through visionary climate justice rather than rugged individualism and nationalism.

They are a blend of energy, mining and critical mineral projects that are already on the books, but which the government says it will be working to expedite through the approval process.
