    Well, I’m sure this is preferable to all of us over a cost of living subsidy, food and utilities price regulation, investment in sustainable infrastructure and public transit systems (that aren’t just for mining or logging), broader funding for crucial social welfare programs that have been consistently eroded at provincial levels, etc.

      Many issues can be tackled at the municipal level. Find or form a local advocacy group and get involved with your city’s politics.

      I’d rather cut fossil fuel tax breaks (4.8B in 2022) than cut support for Ukraine. The money sent to Ukraine to defend itself is a fraction of the amount of money we give away to rich fucks domestically each year. And contrary to the rich fucks, Ukraine actually needs this money.
