CANADIANS! 🇨🇦 The privatization of our universal healthcare system is happening. SIGN TO STOP IT! 👇 #cdnpoli “Universal healthcare protects Canadians from financial hardship, improves national productivity, and reduces preventable illness, saving the Canadian economy billions of dollars each year.”

Hyperscale data-centre expansion is outpacing the capacity of the local systems that support it. The public health costs are falling to small municipalities with limited leverage and no oversight mechanisms. This week we map out an emerging pattern:

The UCP’s license plates may say “Strong & Free” but their actions today clearly say they’re cowardly authoritarians. Better is possible and it’s never been needed more. #abpoli

Suarez sure thought he was going for a walk there.

Thousands of activists rallied outside the Israeli embassy in South Korea's capital to stage a mass 'die in' showing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

What "ceasefire"? Hard to call it that when the one side still continues to violate it and no one stops them.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

Lights. Out. That is all.

The Canadian Justice system loses $20 billion year. The Canadian military loses $34 billion a year. Canadian Health Care loses $372 billion a year. Imagine if Carneys liberals talked about services like it does the Post Office.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

I need to say a few words about Darren. He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world. And we are poorer for his departure from it. Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

Yearly unpopular reminder that you should never post photos of your kids online, but if you're going to, you should ask them for consent. When we role model that ALL photos require consent before sharing, we actively dismantle a culture that has normalized leaking nudes.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
