Correction 7. One death I was in Winnipeg. The point is doctors warned there are harms with overcrowded ERs. And now there are stories like these.

Carney has lost his marbles. Thinking he can backdoor encryption & privacy. No credible company would offer this to customers & Gov’s

Carney fans, we're begging you. See him for who he is. Start pushing back. Please. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

“During the election, Danielle Smith asked Trump to pause his tariff war to benefit Pierre Poilievre — but not stop it entirely, which would benefit all Canadians.” Neither Smith nor Poilievre have been investigated for this.

We need a new party. An actual functional civil-rights based Progressive Party that is willing to cut deep to get the cancer out. We have to stop pretending party politics doesnt happen at that level. Here in #HamOnt, supposed stronghold of Labor, id classify most of City Council as NeoCon Tories.

Also, the oil president just proved to the world that oil is an insecure, outdated fuel. Instead of putting oil back at the center, he’s driving the entire world to renewables as fast as it can go.

Tim Powers reacts to Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'antidemocratic': "Let's not forget the obvious fact we all learned in our civics classes: there's nothing undemocratic about the judiciary — they exist in our system to provide a check and a balance in circumstances like this."

#cdnpoli trying to break encryption. “Tech companies, including Apple, and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce have warned the lawful access regime proposed by the bill could weaken or break encryption.” From ⤵️⤵️

Canadians can loose privacy if Carney Gov gets its way. “Signal vice-president of strategy and global affairs, says Ottawa’s Bill C-22 could threaten encryption and make private messaging services a potential target for cyberattacks” From ⤵️

Pissing away oil booms is practically a shared pastime in Alberta. But the cost of pissing this latest -- and last-- one away will be higher than all the other ones combined. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/12/o...

Premiers in Canada along with party ideology have failed our health system. What are Canadians willing to do about it? #cdnhealth

Compared to illness a $2 N95 is cheap. When health orgs are failing, is it worth flying at anytime w/o a $2 mask that could save your life or at least significantly cut risk of contracting any illness?

Provinces demanded that the housing portfolio be handed over to them from the feds over 30 years ago. Greed has overtaken since then. No low income housing starts, and in Ontario, the lowest housing starts since the 1950’s. It seems rather obvious that provinces have no idea how to manage housing.

@mbjdepute.bsky.social why was the Board Chair for Infoway given the Order of Canada? Was the initial wording for the award just? Pls terminate the entire board. PrescribeIT was a failure from the start. Infoway removed patient agency from Rx. Uptake for PrescribeIT low because no enhancement!

When is #HESA pulling in Infoway board to a public meeting? Get Health Canada back too. #cdnpoli #cdnhealth #cdnmedia Bonkers: “There were 24 vice-presidents and senior managers who earned between $207,284 and $340,762 that year in total compensation.” From: www.canhealth.com/2026/05/06/i...

Billionaires don’t oppose data centers. That’s why.

The Provinces are responsible for Housing but the Premiers made it a Federal problem which isn’t right #Power&Politics #Canada

This #EPWeek2026, I joined my provincial and territorial counterparts to share a simple message: know your risks and be prepared. Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time. Taking small steps now can make all the difference.

I have submitted a 10 page 'case study' that includes 1.5 pages of questions about science and policy. So far they're 10 days past the legislated deadline for response. I copied MLA, MoH and Seniors' Advocate. The PCQ Review Board et al. will be hearing from me this week.

Saw this item just after I saw this cartoon

Save public health care! "The federal government has both the authority and the obligation to act. The precedent is there. When a private clinic in British Columbia challenged the province’s restrictions on private billing, the federal government intervened in court to defend public health care."

ABs should be very worried... Our current govt and Premier do NOT respect the Rule of Law or Democratic norms.... 1/5

Alberta's Bill 11 threatens the very foundation of Canada's public health care. We need urgent action from the Federal Government to protect patients & our health care systems from two tier American-style health care ASAP! 📢Take action: www.friendsofmedicare.org/enforcethecha

Some kinda different beetle than I am use to seeing mid Van Isle.

@emilylowan.bsky.social should Ministers of Health be independents separate from political party ideology, independently elected? What we have doesn’t work. Dr’s, Nurses & others burning out, patients can burnout & at increased risk of harm… Politicians ignore research for decades, $$ duplicate

🚨 BREAKING: 25+ of Canada's leading rights orgs, privacy scholars, and legal experts just delivered a joint letter to Parliament. The ask? Kill #BillC22. The reason? It would be "the most expansive invasion of Canadian privacy rights in modern history." 🧵 openmedia.org/press/item/c... #cdnpoli 1/

This is why I’ve come to think of conservative leaders as small-ball. Sure, he’s got part of that right, but being unwilling to share the reality and scale of the problem makes him entirely ill-suited to a leadership role of actual import. #cdnpoli

PP is the reason we need a real MP Accountability Act that can strip pensions & all benefits during office and after. Also ban from running for office when warranted

Stop the two tier healthcare NOW! Number one bankruptcy in the United States is healthcare. People have to do GoFundMe to ensure their children live. How stressful and sad. This does not happen in Canada. Let’s stop this madness now!! #StopVotingConservativePremiers
