For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

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.
