Sadly relevant today.

Deliberate underfunding of public healthcare, especially by conservative provincial governments, and their extortion of legitimate federal funding for private for-profit gain is exactly what has led to decline of all healthcare in Canada. The thieves are hiding in plain sight.

Ukraine has begun targeting Russia's shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. These ships will no longer be able to help Russia export their oil from the Black Sea, halting almost 30% of Russia's total global oil exports. Russia had another ICBM test launch failure.

I’m not so naïve to think that AI will go away when the AI bubble bursts (after all the Internet didn’t go away when the dot com bubble burst). But it is really sad that such an unreliable, unethical, and massively polluting technology is embraced by so many.

Thank you to all the volunteers! Rep. Aftyn Behn reported that more than 600 volunteers turned out and knocked on 13,000 doors. Let’s flip TN’s 7th District! And if you’ve got time, they still need help!

I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy. This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

This is a thoughtful point. How politics is done & what the players are has changed forever.

Is this what #NeverVoteConservative’s are doing to our healthcare systems? Denying a person food (a feeding tube) I do not bloody care if she was from 🇺🇸! This is insane! Cruelty. Premier Scott Moe needs to be held accountable and resign. Wow! 🪶😡💔🇨🇦🇺🇸👇🏽 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This has got to be one of Gavin Newsom's best...

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization.

Yes, BC is hiring! Any nurses ready to leave Gilead?

Canada has what the world wants, including 34 critical minerals that are powering new technologies. We’re moving forward on new mines and other major infrastructure so we can produce and sell more of them to the world — creating high-paying careers for Canadian workers.

WOW! In March, Danielle Smith justified not calling for a public inquiry in part because her new right hand man... (former #YEG Police Chief, Dale Mcfee) had looked into the corrupt care scandal The same one who the Globe showed was partying with Sam Mraiche! #abpoli #ableg

1/16 🇨🇦 🚨 VIOLENCE IN CANADIAN SCHOOLS IS REACHING A TIPPING POINT 🚨 🇨🇦 In an Ottawa high school, Matthew Morris, 15, was dragged into a bathroom and beaten while others filmed. The adults were five steps behind. The video was viral on Snapchat before the bruises formed. #CdnEd #OntEd #Education

Did Adriana Lagrange lie to cover up connections with the "Corrupt Care" scandal and recovery Alberta? Because back in March she was asked if Judge Wyants report would look into those concerns, and she said he would. But he said he wasn't allowed to... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I don't know where this 2023 complaint led, but Phillips and Engelbrecht made numerous demonstrably-false claims in 2000 Mules (I have receipts) so if there were irregularities in the "nonprofit" finances as well, it would not surprise me. www.propublica.org/article/true...

It’s in the stories of Canadians where we learn about the real stories behind the stats These stories remind us that there is real people behind the numbers and those people have real problems. How can these problems be solved outside of govt involvement? apple.news/A9WTfPLgeT4a...

🗣️ ain't no power like the power of a union, cuz the power of a union won't stop! We're EIGHTEEN DAYS into our national ULP strike and only getting louder. Let's hear it for baristas in Gardner, MA for holding the line! #nocontractnocoffee

In the process of making butter extract which involves vodka & butter. It has enthusiastic support from a family member since it involves buying a bottle of vodka. Had never heard of this before so my first try. Takes a couple of days. Hope it turns out more than greasy vodka.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends. This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

We will be our own best customer — and build big with Canadian workers, Canadian technology, and Canadian materials.

My favourite sign from yesterday’s protest against the CAQ. A gov’t unable to see Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab as complex individuals possessing their own autonomy. Always treated as docile victims or demonized vectors of religious extremism. Never just ppl making their own decisions.

Priorities from the dude pretending to be president. 🙄

"The "trickle-down" theory: the principle that the poor, who must subsist on table scraps dropped by the rich, can best be served by giving the rich bigger meals." .. (quote William Blum) .. (Cartoon Jim Morin).. #politics #economy

Alberta's UCP Convention is a depressingly stupid spectacle; it is equally pathetic how RW media has gleefully pumped their hillbilly stupidity across the nation, and is astounding just how many illiterate, history denying/revising nitwits there are in the fold. Mud dumb stupid and SO PROUD OF IT.

@muchogatos.bsky.social Try the link here. This is an excellent account to follow on the resistance to UCP questionable activities. It is non-partisan, pro democracy & pro ethical governing. Mraiche initiated a SLAPP lawsuit against them for $6mill. #abpoli #cdnpoli

I agree with using Canada’s pensions to invest in Canada at this time The global stock markets are boosted by pension’s purchases and not fundamentals of the underlying asset Why prop up the DOW when CDN Biz needs help pivoting into a new era? #cdnpoli apple.news/AmDOffbXTS6C...
