The tax hikes they plan on the rich are too agressive As for the Right-Wing Conservatives im ok if they win election but i dont like the party leader Andrew Sheer so im not sure i could trust them Both the Liberals and Conservatives surprisingly this time around dont have an overly different plan when it comes to taxes and the major stuff so if they are simmilar might as well go with Trudeau the biggest difference is the Conservatives want to do some tweeks on some programs Trudeau has added in order to balance the budget. I dont like the deficit but some of those programs especially trainings programs are useful so it has its pros and cons im worried that Trudeau keeps raising the deficit target gradually when the economy has unemployment at a 40 year low tho. Just doesnt seem responsible to me The Conservatives who were in power before Trudeau had the budget almost back to balance and planned surpluses like we had before the 2008 financial crisis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,080 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Planting trees is a no brainier. It's ashame it's taken so long for people to realise this. I hope other countries follow suit instead of chopping them down for the 5g signals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need wood and we need space to build things but to make it sustainable we need to replant each tree we cut down at least. The trees we cut down really add up Trees may not absorb carbon and produce oxygen to the same level as the plankton in the Oceans do but they still have a big impact and planting them is something we CAN do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the oxygen the amazon produces gets consumed in the amazon forest itself so its net positive impact on earths oxygen is actually very small however the run offs from the amazon and the storm surges it creates in these other regions carry vital nutrients down the amazon river that once it goes to the ocean it feeds one of the biggest if not the biggest Plankton bloom on earth the trees themselves and the forest itself arent the lungs of the earth, thats a myth. But the Amazon still plays a vital role indirectly because without the amazon forest that big bloom of plankton would not be fed and would die!
