So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

At a NATO cocktail party a European dude scolded me on Canada not pulling its weight. "Your ships are all 40 years old." I said, "You want to talk about age? My father in law was only 17 when he and other Canadian teenagers were freeing your country from the fascist jackboot." Canada #strongasfuck

This is not government. This is keeping secrets from Albertans. They are hiding information from us, the people they are supposed to serve. Transparency is democratic. UCP is autocratic.

Hockey. It is ours. Just like maple syrup and Gord Downie and ketchup chips and toques with pom poms and bagged milk and every fricken square centimetre of this big beautiful country. We are nice and we apologize maybe too much, but we won’t say sorry for standing strong for what belongs to us. 🇨🇦

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

Doug Ford still has a contract with the Nazi for Starlink. Why would someone bypass a Canadian company for a Nazi in the first place? Someone tell him again that Ottawa is in Ontario. #voteFordout #donotsitthiselectionout
