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.

    Did you know Hydro was failing?

    Global warming which is turning Canada’s forests into kindling, ready to burn into the roots, ready to die standing, is from heat evaporating soil and reduced rainfall.

    That’s the sine qua non of #climate warming. Also means that Canada is no longer Exporting Hydro Electricity to the US but is IMPORTING energy as oil fed climate warming empties dams, reduces power.

    We MUST build solar wind and batteries, end subsidising oil, or we don’t make it.
