Carney just unveiled new plans that make it easier for mega-corporations to profit while our communities and the planet suffer the consequences. Let’s speak up to make sure our MPs and Liberal Ministers hear a loud, resounding “no” to this plan to fast track destruction. share.nwmd.social/s/HgWMjXrN

Please sign this important letter. I hope my MLA, Niki Sharma, will not support the push to amend or suspend DRIPA, but rather that she'll respect the unanimous support the law received when it was passed in the legislature. www.bcafn.ca/the-declarat...

“Stupid” is one way to put it. I can think of a lot ways to describe this, but “smart” isn’t one of them. Lapdogs aren’t known to be clever.

The TI deprescribing webinars are well worth watching. Not just for prescribers, but also for people who use prescription drugs. Super useful information.

Britain is now a state where you are stopped by the police and face possible arrest if you wear a T-shirt emblazoned with PLASTICINE ACTION

Liberal Government Authorized New Exports For Israel’s Iron Dome Another example of Liberal hypocrisy and complicity in Israel’s genocide www.readthemaple.com/liberal-gove...

This is a complete outrage - both the arms shipments and the lies about the arms shipments. All to support Israel’s genocide and crimes against humanity.

Three global corporations control 97% of the world insulin market and one of them appears to be losing interest because Ozempic brings in so much more money. And that’s the only thing that matters. Not safety, not equitable access. Money. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

If you ever needed reasons to hope the Conservatives don’t win, read this. It scares the shit out of me. If they form the government, we can say good bye to pensions, health care, benefits of any kind. www.levernews.com/the-conserva...

⬆️ costs; ⬆️ wait times; ⬆️ profits for healthcare investors; and a collapsing public hospital system. @alonghurst.bsky.social exposes reckless policies of Alberta’s awful, ethics-free government.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

"Buy Canadian Instead" signs going up in BC Liquor stores

I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves. We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves. We will drink Canadian whiskey. True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.

Pretty wild that the US got BDS'd by Canada before Isreal did.

Words matter. And so do Nazi salutes.
