Flint is still dealing with the lead poisoning of residents’ drinking water.
What should the Trudeau government do next in the escalating trade war with the Trump administration over NAFTA?
I was invited to speak on behalf of the Council of Canadians at the Niigaani-gichigami Gratitude Walk on June 8th.
With just 40.5 per cent of the popular vote, PC leader Doug Ford has won a 76-seat majority government in Ontario's 124-seat legislature.
A major decision is expected by the British Columbia government in the coming days given the tenures from twenty fish farms are set to expire on June 20.
What will Ontario's new PC government under Doug Ford do with respect to Nestle bottled-water takings?

The Council of Canadians has opposed Halifax-based Corridor Resources Inc.'s plan to drill for oil and gas at the Old Harry site -- a 17,401 hectare area situated about 100 kilometres off the southwest tip of Newfoundland and about 300 kilometres off the coast of Quebec in the Gulf of St. Lawrence -- since November 2010.
The Trump administration recently imposed a 25 per cent tariff on steel and a 10 per cent tariff on aluminum exports from Canada to the United States.
