I miss the good doctor’s no-nonsense wisdom.

Let’s be clear. Healthcare is a human right. It is a foundation, like education that builds and sustains society. It should never be about profit and it never generates revenue. It’s about a patient’s needs & not a shareholder’s return. Anyone who tells you otherwise is stealing.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

"We were attacked [ergo] we are at war" Canada rejected Trump’s bad deal. Good! Now Canada must stand firm, use our leverage to support our workers, & act urgently to protect the people, communities & ecosystem impacted by Trump’s war against Canadians. #ElbowsUp🇨🇦 share.canadianlabour.ca/s/68SZY8jN

I feel like the way of dealing with such behaviour is to look these people right in the eye and say, very gently, "You think your right to park matters more than homes these children?" Then when they reply just repeat it with slightly different emphasis.

If you’re ever lost in the wilderness, just build a cycle path because someone is bound to pull up in their car and park in it.

Other people are mere counters in their game. Oh whoops, you fell off the board. Never mind. Yet somehow these sick-minded people, who don't in any way reflect the attitude of the general population, come to dominate our politics and our media. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🇺🇦🙏 Zelensky: Damage has been recorded in more than 10 locations in Kyiv, including residential buildings. So far, 64 people have been rescued, including two children. As of now, it is known that, unfortunately, 11 people died as a result of this attack. About 60 more people were injured.

Thanks @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social for supporting the launch of this important, Canadian, book!

When a book launch on the heavy topic of GBV, trauma, public memory, justice & media-activism is simultaneously a celebratory reunion of community; @nicolettelittle.bsky.social 's fabulous new book, enabled that. 👏🏼 to @ubcpress.bsky.social for this important book. www.instagram.com/reel/DZaICH5...

3/ Prime Minister Carney ran on a promise to protect Canadians from Donald Trump and stand up for Canadian sovereignty. He cannot sit on the fence while Doug Ford hands more power to Wall Street.

To every volunteer, donor, organizer and NDP member who helped power this history-making movement: thank you. We are building a new foundation for our party, and we are ready to come roaring back on the Canadian political stage. Let’s get to work!

🇨🇦 When Canadians vacation in Canada, the money stays closer to home. Hotels, restaurants, tour guides, gas stations, small shops, airports, museums, and local workers all benefit. Choosing Canada is not only about scenery — it is also about supporting communities during a tough economy. ♥️🇨🇦

Canada is quickly being welcomed into the EU orbit. Oil, Aluminum, Critical minerals, Potash, Uranium, cheap steel, lumber, will be redirected away from US supply lines. Trumps statement "We need nothing from Canada" will be tested. But don't worry what are the odds of Trump getting it wrong?

The tourists will not be returning we have found better and more welcoming places to go. That ship has sailed. Next mistake will be the USA not committing to revising CUSMA. Canada is quickly aligning away from the US and Americans have no concept of the economic pain this will cause.

He is 💯 correct. Danielle Smith is no patriot. She’s a self interested, Machiavellian politico who is married to a twisted & absurd ideology (that has proven to be entirely destructive in practice), & panders to seppies because without them, she would’ve never won the leadership. #ableg #cdnpoli
