A fascinating read. You can just say no, America. You can make it stop.

It’s often the most vulnerable Canadians who don’t file their taxes and miss out on the benefits they need or have paid into. So we’re introducing Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million lower-income Canadians.

Absolutely.

This kind of shit needs to be shut down and the owner/operator jailed. A deeply sick individual lies while targeting the most vulnerable. Disgusting.

Literally no one should buy from Walmart or McDonalds. How insane is this and who needs $18M PER YEAR???

Following yesterday’s story about Australia’s success tackling cervical cancer with the HPV vaccine, here’s the latest research on how vaccines can help prevent dementia, heart disease and some cancers.

A nation as vast, rich and smart as Canada will not carry water for a grifter.

"Carney is demonstrating you can care about social programs, indigenous people, the environment and pronouns without being woke. He’s proving that spending and investing are different things. And his response when a reporter bugged him about the last time he talked to Trump." “Who cares? 👏

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Don’t buy American vegetables. They’re poisoned.

Canada's recent creation of a task force to look at what the FDA's staff cuts and lighter regulations could do to food and drug safety here needs to move fast. And we need more than a task force. We can't trust the FDA to protect Canadians any longer. bsky.app/profile/chri...
