It's almost 2019. Can we stop reporting on climate change like it's Santa?
A new poll has found that nine-in-ten Canadians believe in climate change, but among Conservative voters, this number falls to 71 per cent. Liberals: 95 per cent NDP: 96 per cent.

Anyone about to tweet and promote the fear of the SNC Lavalin scandal electing a Conservative government, STOP. And think about why we don't have electoral reform instead.
We are not in a two party system, we are in a first past the post system which fails us.
