Standing by the docks in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., on Monday morning, Liberal MP Alexandre Mendes told Radio-Canada she came to this week's Liberal caucus retreat with a message from her constituents: "dozens and dozens" of them were "adamant" the Liberal Party needed a new leader.

Speaking later to CBC's Power & Politics, Mendes said it was hard to pinpoint a specific reason or issue to explain her constituents' feelings for the prime minister.

"It's a very generalized ... 'we're tired of his face' kind of thing," she explained.

Biden CLOSED coal, all of it.

No he didn't.

In response to a lawsuit from environmentalists, the Biden administration is ending new leases for coal mining on federal lands in the most productive part of America's top coal producing state. Source

Canada burned 3 centuries of logging's trees in one summer.

30 Billion Trees.

Can you please provide the link for this data?

And you never answered this question ... I'd also like you to tell us who you will vote for instead of the Liberals.

@girlfreddy

I have pinned some posts on the fires, though I cant imagine how you know anything about Canada and not know Canada burned 18 million hectares of forest last year, more than Five Million this year.

Trudeau resigning allows the Liberal Party to end oil expansion begin building new energy to replace oil and failing hydro.

The leadership contest will be good for the LPC and Canada.
Maybe even stop PP

Biden closed coal burning electrical generation during COP, 20% of US electricity

I don't see any of the pinned posts in your post or comment history. While I agree on the urgency of addressing climate change and agree that we need to substantially increase the speed of our deployment of renewables, it's completely reasonable for someone to ask for sources.

We need MORE fact checking, not less. When someone asks me for sources, I'm THRILLED to share with them, because that is someone who is interested and thinking critically. It's someone I can have a dialogue with.

@potate

It frightens me that a Canadian says they dont know about the 160,000 Square Kilometres of Burn in 2023

This is how much burned in 2023.

Everything under the square is burned to the roots. Including the black lines.

I'm assuming you meant to include an image here?

I live through the smoke every year, and have had to retrofit a ton of of air filters into my home. Believe me, I know - I live and play in the areas that are burning. But someone asking for a reference is a GOOD thing and responding dismissively doesn't sway people to better understand, it turns them off of your message.
