First, they went after the urban dwellings and now they are after the farms

The plan: make doctors municipal employees instead of freelancers. Pay them salaries, give them benefits (including pensions), and take over their administration duties. They hope this will be a revenue-neutral endeavour.

Canada’s #immigration cuts risk stalling economic growth, experts warn. Blaming newcomers for #housing and healthcare crises will leave Canada’s future prosperity in jeopardy — and fuel far-right backlash. @sophiadr.bsky.social reports: ricochet.media/justice/migr... #cdnpoli #DrawTheLine

I genuinely think this mayor has hit upon how to fix, or at least substantially improve, the Canadian healthcare system! Cities and/or provinces need to be trying this at scale right now.

“Kobayashi's response: Make them municipal employees.”

His plan, for the record, is: make doctors municipal employees. Flat salary plus pension, no individual billing. IE, what the country as a whole should really be doing!

Wow. I think it’s brilliant.

Ben Mulroney is blurring the lines between journalism, business, lobbying and partisan politics The new host of Global News’ national political news show also works for registered lobby groups, advises businesses and hosted election events for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives earlier this year

I did a deep-dive into Ben Mulroney's extracurricular activities: At the same time as Mulroney is filling-in as host of The West Block, he is also working for two registered lobby groups and as an adviser to several companies – some of whose CEOs he's interviewed on Global News 640 Toronto radio

It obviously gives you autism because Kenvue (the owner of Tylenol) failed to perform the rigorous 'scientific' study in which they present the President of the United States with a truck load of money and/or a golden statue /s

Not even suprised

Tylenol does nothing for my headache. How on earth could it give me autism?

Join a union. Get a raise.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the AB leg

The UCP and their Take Back Alberta bullshit is going to get people killed. They know this, and they don't care. #abpoli

This is so not okay. #cdnpoli

Alberta lost 30,000 jobs this summer. We have the second highest unemployment rate in the country. We have the worst real wage growth. But the UCP are prioritizing identity politics.

So the UCP is going to use the Notwithstanding Clause to force Albertans to accept theirs & Take Back Alberta's obsession over children's genitalia, particularly young girls of Epstein's favourite age who have to prove they are girls. Seems connected to weird Evangelical Fundamentalist cult beliefs.

Amazing leak. I hope more UCP MLA‘s jump ship. #NoConfidence
