As part of its goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Canada has introduced new regulations mandating that one-fifth of all vehicles sold in Canada are electric by 2026.

L'oeuvre “Toxic”, de Jean-Michel Basquiat, à droite sur la photo, s'inspire du cartoon américain et dénonce la violence de la société américaine. À l’heure du mouvement Black Lives Matter, l’œuvre de Basquiat est plus pertinente que jamais.
