The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

The right knows how to channel the legitimate rage of working class people. The problem is where they direct that rage. It’s not immigrants and trans kids making your life impossible. It’s the bankers and the billionaires with all the wealth and power. It’s time to put the blame where it belongs.

Why is this government allowing Israeli companies blacklisted for genocide to acquire Canadian companies - contrary to our own laws and policies? The government's response is what exactly?

In America, healthcare and education are treated as luxury goods, and the working class has been brainwashed into defending the very system keeping them broke and sick.

Millions of Canadians who cheered on parliamentary intern Brigette DePape when she boldly engaged in silent protest against Stephen Harper's policy agenda now angrily cheerlead for the very same policy agenda as Mark Carney repeatedly draws directly from Stephen Harper's playbook. 🧵1/

Netanyahu has disputed the attack on EU Diplomats including from Belgium and France that left them in hospital. It is time for Europe to Sanction Israel they are an enemy state.

Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate: “Keep politics the heck out of it.” He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do. It’s the most competitive House race in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Let's talk about what is actually CURRENTLY happening in AB for surgical care: We are sending kids home with painful broken arms, to await surgery because we no longer have the staff to do it same day! Elderly pts are waiting days in hospital, in pain, with a broken hip. 1/2

Far Right website ‘Rebel News’ has taken notice of my opposition, & that of notable Canadians, to the campaign to breakup Canada. On Oct. 7, columnist Cory Morgan, a separatist, took issue with my strong defence of Canada. I stand by everything I say & write. #ForeverCanadian 🇨🇦

Ford and the OHA have been bankrupting hospitals via things like Bill 124. So now all Ontario hospitals are insolvent. Private capital taking over will be positioned as "rescuing" them.

Today marks 20 years since Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow. She recognized Putin's true nature earlier than most—and the regime could never erase the truth she died to tell.
