From Science Blogs - The Canadian War On Science: A Long Unexaggerated, Devastating Chronological Indictment by John Dupuis.
Excerpt:
This is a brief chronology of the current Conservative Canadian
government’s long campaign to undermine evidence-based scientific,
environmental and technical decision-making. It is a government that is
beholden to big business, particularly big oil, and that makes every
attempt to shape public policy to that end. It is a government that
fundamentally doesn’t believe in science. It is a government that is
more interested in keeping its corporate masters happy than in
protecting the environment.

BC - NDP Lose The Election, But The Liberals Lose Their Leader
Christy Clark may have led her party to a stunning upset against all predictions, but she lost her own seat to the NDP's David Eby.
Elections BC: Vancouver-Point Grey results.
My two cents on why the NDP lost: Conservative party support swung to the Liberals to stop the NDP, and the youth vote, which strongly supports the NDP, didn't show up to vote.

Ontario NDP Want To Hear From You On The Budget
The Ontario NDP would like to hear your feedback on the budget before deciding on supporting it or not. The Liberals sort of supported the NDP demands, but not exactly.
Here is a link to a table that shows what the NDP demanded and what the Liberals offered.
As you can see, some of the items the Liberals decided to offer to bring in partially or sometime within a number of years. Other items, the Liberals offered even more funding.
