EXCLUSIVE: BC NDP orders secret campaign to kill Alberta’s planned new Northern oil pipeline westernstandard.news/bc/exclusive-b…

Could this be the next Prime Minister of Canada? Recently, I’ve been finding myself up all night trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the world and if we're on the verge of World War III… So, today I’m sitting down with Pierre Poilievre who is the leader of Canada's Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition. He became one of the youngest MPs elected to Canadian parliament and has spent 2 decades fighting for working class people and fair opportunities. Pierre told me that he’s on a mission to make Canada the freest and most affordable place in the world, and he’s not stopping until that happens. To give you more context on his background, Pierre was adopted at birth by two school teachers who struggled financially and ended up losing multiple homes which meant that they had to start again from nothing several times throughout his childhood. That experience shaped what he believes about work, money, and fairness. When speaking about his parents, he told me that they taught him that it doesn’t matter where you come from. It matters what you do. That belief is now at the centre of everything he’s trying to change.





NEW - BC is setting minimum standards for parental leave for elected municipal politicians and school trustees. New legislation allows minimum of 26 weeks of leave, without disqualifying them for office for missing meetings.
