Standing by the docks in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., on Monday morning, Liberal MP Alexandre Mendes told Radio-Canada she came to this week's Liberal caucus retreat with a message from her constituents: "dozens and dozens" of them were "adamant" the Liberal Party needed a new leader.

Speaking later to CBC's Power & Politics, Mendes said it was hard to pinpoint a specific reason or issue to explain her constituents' feelings for the prime minister.

"It's a very generalized ... 'we're tired of his face' kind of thing," she explained.

Biden CLOSED coal, all of it.

No he didn't.

In response to a lawsuit from environmentalists, the Biden administration is ending new leases for coal mining on federal lands in the most productive part of America's top coal producing state. Source

Canada burned 3 centuries of logging's trees in one summer.

30 Billion Trees.

Can you please provide the link for this data?

And you never answered this question ... I'd also like you to tell us who you will vote for instead of the Liberals.

@girlfreddy

I have pinned some posts on the fires, though I cant imagine how you know anything about Canada and not know Canada burned 18 million hectares of forest last year, more than Five Million this year.

Trudeau resigning allows the Liberal Party to end oil expansion begin building new energy to replace oil and failing hydro.

The leadership contest will be good for the LPC and Canada.
Maybe even stop PP

Biden closed coal burning electrical generation during COP, 20% of US electricity

I don't see any of the pinned posts in your post or comment history. While I agree on the urgency of addressing climate change and agree that we need to substantially increase the speed of our deployment of renewables, it's completely reasonable for someone to ask for sources.

We need MORE fact checking, not less. When someone asks me for sources, I'm THRILLED to share with them, because that is someone who is interested and thinking critically. It's someone I can have a dialogue with.

@potate

You dont see any pinned posts?
Why not?

You can't see a comment history?
How come?

You dont have to fact check Canada's forest fires.

All the fire posts have links, most of them to ciffc.ca.

If we need to fact check the Forest Fire Catastrophe, and you're Canadian, I have to ask where are your lungs?

Do you really not know about the 18 million hectares of forests burned into their roots?

I went to your Lemmy profile, nothing there.

Thanks for providing the link - but I think that you should have posted it here instead of responding with derision.
