If you’re the person who always comments that “healthcare isn’t free” when we post about how Canadians biggest hospital expense is the parking, WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR OUTRAGE OVER THE UCP TRYING TO FORCE TAXPAYERS TO FUND MASSIVELY OVERPRICED CONTRACTS THAT BENEFIT INSIDERS & POLITICAL STAFFERS?

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.

A brief summary of the UCP corruption scandal: - If they didn’t know what was going on they are incompetent. - If they did knew what was going on they are crooks. In both cases they wasted a boat-load of our money, and didn’t make healthcare any better.

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Sam sure picked a government full of feckless chumps to do his work. Allegedly. “Look over here, a donation!” “Look over here, Tylenol!” “Look over here, property!” “Look over here, surgery clinics!” “Look over here, playoff tickets!” <UCP ministers race to sign deals and cheer for their team>

A billionaire has privileged access to government decisionmaking. Evidence suggests he's manipulating the system to enrich himself and his companies. Members of the governing party remain silent as the evidence mounts.

Brian Jean & Danielle Smith latest spin about Grassy Mountain: the mine will get all its water from a little pond. That is an outright lie The test drilling proposal now under review by AER might get enough water from that pond. A mine would use MUCH, MUCH more water. Drained from our creeks.

Braid: "Why would Mentzelopoulos — longtime deputy minister in both Alberta and B.C., loyal government soldier for her entire career, experienced leader who knew full well that her job was to wind down AHS — why would she suddenly poke the bear in such a job-busting way?" Why indeed.

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

European Union must promptly form a European Military Force with a nuclear capacity, which Canada and UK must be part of. Such defensive formation would operate in support of NATO, but must have the capacity to replace it. USA no longer is a dependable ally. Hard new reality to accept. #cdnpoli

“Carney’s plan… is to split the budget in two. The operating budget would cover what government consumes day to day including supplies, salaries, cash transfers to provinces, and benefits... The capital budget would include expenditures on assets such as fighter jets, or infrastructure...”
