The Nexus program is more run by the US than us. They really get to call the shots on it.

The alternatives, then, are as follows: ignore human rights for trans and non-binary folks, or cancel this agreement.

I'm kind of a fan of human rights, personally

He's also throwing the environment under the bus to make Danielle Smith happy by working on an oil pipeline to sell more oil to Europe. (Who are working on reducing their dependency on oil already...)

We already can't breathe here in Montréal with the amount of smog we have. But nooo. Gotta keep the "economy" rolling.

The Mexico filter is real, you just gotta come to Montreal to witness it.

Fucking hell was that a miserable week to need oxygen.

I had to search what the Mexico filter was lol! But yeah. It's fucking real. The light is orange. Even in peak daylight. The past couple of weekends, friends and I have gone out and our throats were straight up burning. I also have asthma, which has worsened since catching covid and the damn super-flu that's been going around, and my lungs are so congested. My medication can't keep up. I'm fucking dying over here.
