Let this sink in. Ontario was building more homes in the 1950s than it is now. Doug Ford’s priorities? Spas, scandals, and insiders.

The Charter case should be swift and decisive. The Supreme Court could not have been more clear in 2011: supervised consumption sites save lives, they cannot be arbitrarily closed when violating people's right to life, liberty and security of the person.

I don't blame RNs for leaving ER. It is too violent. A patient who assaulted me goes to court this week. I expect zero justice. The same week I got assaulted, another patient said he would kill me and a family member dropped his shoulder to ram through me. ER is violence. People have had enough.

The story of Canada despite all our advances is that we have failed to provide the basic medical care to our citizens for the diagnosis and treatment of unforeseen and time dependent illness and injury. Profiteers lurk to capitalize, but if we band together, we can make this work.

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in. Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world. People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks. This reality has not set in yet.

During Trump 1.0, there cld be delays of months between FA and FO. But under 2.0, he’s choosing fealty w/o competence and it’ll be true FAFO.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.
