  1. FINALLY some big media attention over the mystery illness that struck my province - only to be swept under the rug via political interference, even ruining the career of the only doctor those 50+ patients had.

    What was found most likely to be responsible was the rampant usage of defoliants, specifically #glyphosate by none other than JD #irving - brother to #irvingOil.

  2. For as long as I've been alive and longer, large industries like #irvingOil, #jdIrving, #repsol and others have paid - and I'm not overstating this - a penny on the dollar of their fair share.

    Our politicians have signed **incredibly** generous 25 or 50 year contracts, absolving over a billion in taxes.

    We have the highest child poverty, teen pregnancy, and sexual assault rates in the country.

    Maybe it's time we balance the scales a little. Maybe we should tip them *a lot* and get back some of what we've lost. Build homes, feed kids, clean pollution, improve schools...
