I know that everyone who voted for Doug Ford will be pleased to hear that he’s doing exactly what he campaigned on - giving MPPs a pay raise. After all, they only earn $116,550 a year. Classic Doug. Getting it done for the people.

The Canadian "measles outbreak continues" on CBC radio hourly news. Every Canadian Public School program needs to update its teaching material to show how measles has been reborn. This is a failure on an epic scale. #Measles

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

If you’re having trouble getting non-🇺🇸 greens, tomatoes and other produce in grocery stores near you, there are local producers available in many cities via delivery. In Ottawa we have many like: goodfood2u.ca small producers with greenhouse veggies banding together to make their farms viable.

We're doing this again, I see. Good exercise and nutrition are absolutely part of a healthy immune system. Yet. No diet will generate antigen-specific immune responses to Measles. No cardio regime will generate neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. But vaccines will.

This feels desperate. Why would you want to disconnect the part of the internet used as a basic resource by medics across the globe? It’s not burning ‘a library’ it’s burning the library of libraries and will really damage medical research for all

Doug Ford will most likely reintroduce legislation that will make being homeless in public criminal. At the same time, we are facing myriad impacts from tariffs that could destroy people's livelihoods. Homelessness is set to get worse; it shouldn't be criminalized. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

The greater the number of citizens gathering at these events, the louder the condemnation of DOGE’s wanton & indefensible slash & burn destruction is highlighted. Lives are at stake. Mid-terms are coming. We are NOT a Kingdom, NOT a dictatorship. We are a Republic by the people and FOR the people.

Shifting polls can do wondrous things. Take the case of Poilievre who now claims he fully supports Ukraine. We know two facts about Pierre: he was the only Canadian leader to oppose Ukraine aid a year ago and polls show almost all Canadian Trump support is in his CPC voter base. Trust him? Nyet.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?
