The Green Party of Canada Has Lost 11,000 Members

Anyone who follows Canadian politics is aware of the Green Party’s catastrophic performance in the 2021 election.

Singh’s “Points of Difference”: National Unity

(This post is the second in a series. Previously, I examined Singh’s claim about Abortion Rights.)
