I sometimes find myself thinking that the Leader of the Opposition misses him too, but for different reasons, and I am sure the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie misses those days.Aside Claims · 34 wordsHe has finally had enough of the government and the Prime Minister backtracking all the time and giving up on the environment. They have literally forced out a highly credible spokesperson on environmental issues. The question · 15 wordsDoes the government realize that its climate betrayal has gone way too far this time?
