Please don’t lose sight in all the horrors that this bill is designed to kill undesirables. Children. Impoverished disabled people. All the intersections you might expect. Whenever they start talking budget, it becomes intangible to some people. These are lives.

This is horrifying--Canada's excess deaths are STILL running at an average of (eyeballing) about 20% higher through 2024 compared to pre-pandemic. (Don't trust the sharp dropoff at the end. Canada is TERRIBLE at collecting and releasing this data quickly. Probably bad data that will be revised).

In case you were wondering, this is because of COVID. Not lifestyle choices, diet, or whatever. COVID, which - aside from deaths during the acute phase - is destroying our immune systems and leaving us vulnerable to suffering and death from other diseases.

Here’s the fundamental thing: the way to get sick people back into regular work is to improve their health. You do that by funding high quality health services and increasing support. This policy is the opposite of that.

The Israeli blockade on Gaza, nearing its third month, is a calculated act of cruelty, starving civilians under the guise of political pressure. Children malnourished, hospitals collapsing, and the world watches. The proposed aid system, tainted by armed contractors, mocks neutrality. #3E

Why does “learning to live with covid” mean accepting repeat infections as inevitable? Why does it mean throwing the vulnerable to the wayside, unsafe healthcare & mass disability? That’s not “living with it”. That’s giving up We need to adapt. Clean air, paid time off, masks in healthcare.

Oooof. Those direct air capture machines built by Climeworks in Iceland, to pull carbon dioxide out of the air? Turns out ... they have generated more CO2 than they have captured.

Kremlin's digital warfare knows no bounds. As Poland's elections loom, Russian hackers target political parties, undermining democracy. Foreign-funded ads on Facebook further skew the playing field. This is not just cyber interference; it's an assault on sovereignty. #3E

Having access to trustworthy experts and being able to parse what is and isn’t misinformation or disinformation is a PRIVILEGE. Education is a PRIVILEGE. People aren’t “stupid” because they can’t do this. And if you think you’ve never fallen for propaganda you’re lying to yourself.

If you’re a leftist, you need to be discussing disability rights because it’s one of the most pressing issues of our time. People are becoming more and more disabled in a society that has been allowing high risk people to die. Eugenics is happening RIGHT NOW!!

When did we decide that the only way a person can “contribute” to society is economically? Why have we allowed the billionaires and capitalism to train us to see worth in such binary terms? Many people contribute in other ways. Your worth should never be tied to your job.

The latest figures show that 40% of undergraduate college students in the UK have brain fog (cognitive damage) caused by #COVID. The latest studies are very concerning. Some politicians are asleep at the wheel!

I’m shocked and yet not shocked. I remember stats in 2021–22 saying 10% of people had Long Covid (brain fog AKA brain damage is part of LC). A year later 20%. Then 25%. Now 40% of students studied have brain damage. Astounding, and it’s only going to get worse 😞 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

MPs must discuss what’s happening with clinically vulnerable people, deaths are ongoing due to restricting vaccines, pemgarda and incorrect guidance. This is 100% relevant to assisted dying. No bill should pass while people die preventable deaths!

A few really basic facts. Migrants don't lower wages, bosses do to increase profits. Stopping people from coming to work won't magically get people from here to work the jobs instead, you just won't have any workers. Training and wages is what is needed.
