  • You know, I remember when I first started learning about Athens, Athenian Democracy, you’re kinda taught that it was a flawed form of government, because they so often turned on their leaders. That prosecuting leaders for the crimes they committed while in office was insane. That is absolutely the narrative in a lot of textbooks. I think about that a lot these days, as it becomes more and more apparent that that was probably one of the best aspects of the athenian democracy.



  • The Montreal MP and former environment minister is expected to break the news to his colleagues at the Liberal caucus meeting on Wednesday, sources told CBC News and Radio-Canada.

    A source with knowledge of his decision said Guilbeault will also speak in the House of Commons Wednesday afternoon to inform his constituents of Laurier-Sainte-Marie about his decision.

    Guilbeault, a prominent environmental activist, is quitting the federal Liberals after a series of moves by Prime Minister Mark Carney to roll back key pillars of Canada’s climate and environmental policy.

    But in his speech in the Commons, Guilbeault is expected to stop short of blasting the Carney government’s environmental rollbacks and instead strike an optimistic and hopeful tone.
