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.

    It frightens me that a Canadian says they dont know about the 160,000 Square Kilometres of Burn in 2023

    This is how much burned in 2023.

    Everything under the square is burned to the roots. Including the black lines.

      I’m assuming you meant to include an image here?

      I live through the smoke every year, and have had to retrofit a ton of of air filters into my home. Believe me, I know - I live and play in the areas that are burning. But someone asking for a reference is a GOOD thing and responding dismissively doesn’t sway people to better understand, it turns them off of your message.
