A young man I know is having numerous health issues that he is trying to resolve but he suffers from a chronic condition and it's causing issues.Until these are resolved it's almost impossible for him to find work because when his condition flares up , he has to take 1-2 days off. Plus he can't do

Joe Rogan and his ilk are truly menaces to society. How much harm his bullshit and misinformation is doing is off the charts , especially concerning vaccines, Covid etc... They have no concern for the truth just money.I always found him annoying as hell and as funny as a used diaper.

I've never been a fan of floor crossers and that goes way back to the 90s for me. If I voted for you as a lib, con, NDP or Green, there was a reason I voted for you and your association with that party. Now I realize it's been done in the past , it's legal but I still dislike it.

In many things there is no such thing as both sides bullshit. Vaccines are one I simply will not tolerate or put up with any grey area or two sides crap.Vaccines save lives ,are amazingly safe and are essential for a healthy society.So glad my family doesn't listen to morons like Rogan and others.

I'm so sick of people deflecting responsibility. Yes public health is provincial and they have failed . But the federal government and its Chief Public Health Officer have a strong role to play as well. Where are they defending and promoting vaccines like COVID, Flu , RSV ?! 3 kids dead in Ontario

There have always been political grifters who stay on to just get the perks and cash. PP has got to be one of the worst I can recall in recent memory. He offers nothing , he rage baits and seems unable to read the room to change. I think he is trapped in a loop from high school.

I've been saying this since the 1st time that Orange pedo got elected , you simply cannot follow Jesus and support that man.After today and his disgusting statement concerning the horrible tragedy of the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, I'm beyond words that any believer could defend him .

The deaths of the Reiner's by apparently their own son is such a tragedy. Such a loss.

Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet on Nov. 27 after PM Mark Carney signed a pipeline-affirming MOU with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. His act of conviction is one that more Liberals need to emulate, for the good of the country, and their party, writes Christopher Holcroft.

“Why am I choosing between austerity with a smile or austerity with a scowl?”I thought this was funny. This was said to me about Carney and PP. Pretty much nails it in my opinion.

One of the reasons universal basic income is so important is how it can directly distribute a share of GDP growth instead of relying on jobs to do it. Another reason UBI is important is because it increases bargaining power for everyone, which in turn will empower unions and function as strike pay.

Does our current federal government understand the value of public institutions? Repealing reduced postal rates for libraries is another blow to services that help build communities.

Poll showed boomers were more conservative before the election but have flipped a majority towards the Liberals oops I meant Torey lite. Of course they would, they know now the Golden Sachs PM will protect their wealth investments. Canada has 2 conservative parties. A centrist and a far right mess.

Often when I look around the world at the violence and total lack of respect for life ,it is depressing. From the Brown University shootings to the hate crime against the Jewish community in Australia, it's heartbreaking. It is pure evil to want to take a life.Praying for all.

Never been a big supporter of a MP or MLA crossing the floor. The constituents voted for the person representing the party. I would have a by-election . If not that , they should be independent, that I can respect but I have none for party jumpers no matter which way.

While I'm not a Swifty , I do respect her ability to connect to her audience but her giving is epic too. Giving her crew and trucker drivers life changing money is truly amazing. Much respect. Funny story, I saw her open for Brad Paisley in Halifax. Had floor seats. I could tell she had it .

Saw a comment about a person pushing back about someone older dying of COVID. This ass said with COVID , saying there were other issues too.What an asshole.When my dad died of RSV,it took him out. Just like this other person,Covid killed them.If this person hadn't got Covid,he would still be alive.

You know what's "masculine" wanting to protect others and putting a proper mask on to protect others , the vulnerable, little ones and yourself. Going against the tide and not being a sheep. Showing empathy is manly , giving is manly and being kind is manly.My Dad showed me that , God I miss him.

I don't know about other people but if I found out a nurse who was attending to me was an anti vaxxer or wouldn't wear an appropriate mask during COVID/Flu/RSV surge , I would not have much confidence and frankly, request another if I could.

I'm completely convinced if we had a UBI in place to replace our failing social nets , 2 men I know probably wouldn't have committed suicide. I won't go into it , but due to some bad luck health wise , both found themselves unable to find consistent work and it started a spiral of despair in terms

Still waiting on the liberals to do anything for the disabled, poor and lower income. Carney's cult love him . I'm not impressed. Much of what he seems to working on stinks of trickle down economics and not one study shows that helps the poor. Plus not an extra penny for those in disability

I do get the call to reduce over consumption by consumers but until a UBI is in place that can't happen. Millions upon millions of jobs depend on that spending including at Christmas especially. The ones most vocal should be championing a UBI but most are silent from what I've witnessed.

What the hell is wrong with some people. I just read 35 children died from being left in hot cars. Seriously!!! There isn't a place in hell hot enough for that type of neglect. Truly sickening.

It's needed more than ever .

The federal government needs to step in to oversee the transfer payments allotted for education and healthcare because the provinces are not using them well at all. There is more scrutiny on some single mom getting assistance than the billions of dollars given to egghead premiers in Canada.

I would remove progressive because I'm not seeing anything progressive for the poor, disabled or lower income. But hey Goldman Sachs PM sure seems to believe in trickle down economic bullshit.

I'm in complete agreement. Most people, left or right are conformist.

I know one thing , this journey with my wife Alzheimer's has truly laser focused who her real ,true friends are. I'm truly disappointed and frankly pissed off at many who have vanished. My family has been amazing, and 1 former client (my wife was a hair stylist for 36 years) and 1 long time friend.

Any talk about reducing traffic congestion in Halifax that doesn't start with remote work for all jobs that can be done so ,is beyond stupid. When will we enter the 21st century and instead keep wanting to return to the 50s.

Canada is clinging to a (thankfully) dying industry. We could become leaders in renewable energy, but instead we have fossil policy on fossil fuels. www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/britain...

We rightly vilify the morons to the south and the health morons RFK Jr has put in tow with him but look at Canada. Our public health Drs have been jokes concerning COVID, little promotion of any vaccines and Federally what liberal has even said anything about COVID, the flu, measles etc.. Pathetic.

From both a federal and provincial stand point , poverty or allowing millions to struggle to get by is a policy decision. I'm tired of people saying well that's a provincial jurisdiction to excuse the inaction of the federal government.Every level is complicit.A UBI needs to be on the table now.

So a few people I know who are federal employees have more less been notified a full return to the house by 2027. Why?? Because Goldman Sachs PM kisses the ass of his corporate real estate oligarchy. Got to keep feeding that archaic, outdated system. Lord I regret voting for that man.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Man do I regret voting for a Goldman Sachs PM. I should have known better. He truly rubs me the wrong way. Never voting liberal again. Perhaps the Greens will never win but I'll vote with my heart and head no matter what , not out of fear the other party will be worse.

Call me crazy but I simply don't think a home, apartment should be for profit or investment for some real estate companies to amass wealth at the expense of people who need a place to live , to exist , raise a family etc...Our whole society is sick to the core and has deep rot.

I get so frustrated with the fact that study after study shows that having a strong social safety net for everyone (UBI, healthcare, modest housing, etc.) costs less than every single one of our current thoroughly broken for-profit systems. But we persist in restricting who "counts" as everyone.

I'm not opposed to raising the min wage but it's like a dog chasing its tail. It will never catch up to what is truly needed. It's why I'm pro UBI to create a solid floor and enable people to get ahead.

Minimum wage will increase by $0.50/hr in 2026, but it's not enough. This increase falls short of what's needed to survive & fails to adequately account for rising costs of rent & food. Learn more: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... @csaulnier.bsky.social @danielsandi.bsky.social #NSpoli

Hell isn’t hot enough for the people responsible for this.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis. They coined the term “useless eaters”. They tested the gas chambers on us. They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives. That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous. We’re not expendable

A family member, longtime liberal member resigned his membership and signed up for the Greens federally , NDP provincially. We talked and the last straw for him was the whole Smith bullshit oil with Alberta. Said he didn't vote liberal to get a Conservative Diet party. I agreed with him.

I think it's time for talk concerning a ubi to end. Between all the trials and the studies that have been done about the benefit of implementing it, it's time to move on from that talk stage to getting it done.We all know that the social nets in Canada are simply not working. Time for action now .

In my opinion we need to rethink the concept of what is constituted as work. When my aunt passed away a couple of years ago, she did not qualify for the death benefit because she had not worked enough or paid into the CPP program. Her life was weighed as meaning nothing according to the federal

Disgusting and infuriating 😡

Tourism needs to adapt and change if we are to get serious about climate change . Governments need to put tighter regulations on pollution and go green . Better still people could begin to be more local within their province or regional. Plus we need electric trains etc ...

The role of a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's is pretty much a 24 /7 job. Even though it's for someone you love and care for, it is tasking and tiring. I understand more now the need for respite care to be included in my wife's care so I can just decompress and recharge.

I'm progressive on most things but if anyone ever tried to enter my home , my do whatever it takes to protect my family would come into play . It did in the past and I put the man on his ass and told him if he got up and I would end him .When it comes to my family I give no quarter.
