Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social @joellightbound.bsky.social This is a very good idea to reduce costs for workers! I think for as long as this crisis exists you could promote this! Please push for it ASAP and it shows you care :) #cdnpoli

Canadian Dental Care Plan is supposed to help Canadians, but a lack of transparency is leaving patients in the dark. I’ve written to Minister Michel to demand clear reasons for dental claim denials. Patients deserve to know why their medically necessary care is being rejected. ⬇️ #cdnpoli #CDCP

It was left to the tech industry to do the right thing and self police. Instead they chose to negatively influence young people. When tech companies learned of the harm they were doing, tried to hide the evidence, denied it was happening, they doubled down. It's time.

⚡️Foreign fighters in Russian ranks rise to 27,407, Ukraine says.

Too thirsty. Europe has just proven that ENATO can exist without much participation of the US in critical security matters (Ukraine). It will be the US that loses out if it allows itself to become an outsider to NATO. Weapons sales, basing, overflight...all of that becomes much more difficult.

🇺🇦 Ukraine has reached an agreement with Arab states on the supply of naval drones. “We possess not only expert knowledge in layered air defense systems, but also experience in using naval drones to unblock maritime trade routes. They know they can rely on our experience in this field,”- Zelenskyy.

🇺🇦 Zelensky said that Ukraine has provided intelligence on cooperation between Russia and Iran to the leaders of the Middle East According to him, Moscow continues to provide assistance to Tehran in parallel with the war against Ukraine.

Angus Reid poll of 4000 shows 75% of #Canadians support #socialmedia #ban on devices. This would apply to children under 16 YOA. I think govt has to make it the tech firm’s responsibility to ensure #safety of their product. Ban on kids doesn’t address CSAM, deepfakes, and other tech violations.

While #rareearths from the #Toengatw mine will likely be shipped to the #U.S., #Hodgson argued they will benefit Canada’s defence supply chain. Torngat says it is already in discussions with several countries about purchasing the rare earths from their mine. Nothing about Indigenous land #cdnpoli

The FIFTH ESTATE Reporting on Carney govt deal with USA ties to Trump, Pentagon, and USA defence. CDN committed $175M to the American Torngate mining company who have rights for 30 years

This is manipulative language and unacceptable in government. It is fair and expected of elected officials to have responses to issues that impact health and govern our nations. #Hodgson response to suggest this unwillingness to act according to policy, is to save jobs, is insulting.

There has been no report to Canadian people on this project nor the impacts. It has NOT been disclosed it is in bed with USA war Dept/PENTAGON. ~Large amounts of uranium are often found in rare earth deposits. ~radioactive waste produced when mining for rare earths is a major concern

This is damn concerning. Waiting of Fifth Estate report. Using the words we are doing exceptional things because we are in exceptional times. While Canadians suffer from US imposed tariffs, we’re told to divest, yet CDN is in bed with Trump supporters Is there any line?

USA Lifts sanctions on Russian oil. USA allows Russia to deliver oil to Cuba. Any other nation faced tariff threats. USA and Russia are allies.

Iran’s embassies in #India, #SouthAfrica and ##Nigeria shared images of #USofficers - Leigh R #Tate, commanding officer, and Jeffrey E #York, executive officer - of the #USSSpruance. These officers fired 3 US #Tomahawk missile equipped with cameras, at #GirlsSchool in #Iran killing them
