Alberta keeps Canada solvent? Contribution to GDP Alberta 15.42% Ontario 36.16%

Public health is essential and must be supported and sustained. Past officials are voicing their concerns about a fractured public health system. "We owe it to future generations to restore a system that protects not just the sick, but the health of all." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Canadian House of Commons Petition e-6389 has doubled in signatures in 24 hrs. Let’s keep this going Canada It requests the Canadian govt make it mandatory for elected party leaders to obtain security clearance. Sign and share. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

This woman's mother is in Virginia. Hearing reports that D.C. is also getting hit. MASK UP, it's back!

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

Not Really Asking Much And I Believe We Should Already Be There.

GO GRANNIES!!!

Honoring our vets means more than VA funding and retirement checks. It means standing up every day for our freedoms and values so that their sacrifice is never in vain.

I hope Americans understand that there are tens of millions of Canadians like me who will never allow ourselves to be subjugated by the US in any way, shape, or form.

CDC says don’t fly if your measles vax not up to date as dozens with measles spread it traveling this week. Gen X, your shot in 70s may have waned, get boosted. Measles can cause blindness, brain swelling & damage, breathing problems, pneumonia, death. It’s airborne so N95 😷 Reposting with alt text

www.cbc.ca/news/busines... Yeah, no. Thanks. We're good.

If you’re pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, you need to read this critical piece of journalism. Don’t allow minimizers & people like RFK Jr to “debate” the risk of COVID in pregnancy. The science on this is sound. We don’t debate facts. Covid is a significant risk to mother and fetus

Poilievre. He’s just not worth the cost #BattleRiver-Crowfoot

Oshawa is on the front line of the resistance. This isn't the first go round for auto workers facing down US pressure. I am honoured to be in Oshawa Tuesday June 17. I will be in Guelph on Thursday June 19 at the Royal City Mission. Canada will not roll over for gangster threats. #elbowsup

The hospital closest to Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, also known as Pukatawagan, is declaring a code orange, preparing for a mass casualty event. They have been trying to evacuate 2000 ppl, 12 people at a time in two 6 seater helicopters out. They waited too long to send more help.

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

Dingdingding!

It makes me feel sick knowing so many Americans believe him

Didn’t we fire this guy?? (Thank you #Ottawa-Carleton 🙏) On deck #BattleRiver-Crowfoot You CAN do this!) Who else has had enough of his sm-ugly unCanadian whining?

Covid is not over. The latest variant, dubbed “razor blade throat” has caused hospitalized patients in Asia to double. It’s time to mask up. Mask week is a great way to show solidarity with disabled & vulnerable people. To tell governments that no one is expendable. It’s a form of resistance.

And now #Canadians, who #voted all across #Canada, did NOT elect #Poilievre. So why is he enjoying all those benefits simply as a Party leader~ not an MP. NOT OFFICIAL OPPOSITION. Vacate #Stornaway you grifter. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre

I don’t begrudge MPPs getting regular raises. However, this doesn’t sit well when ODSP and OW rates keep people below the poverty line and people have to jump through hoops to qualify. Someone working FT on minimum wage is earning <$30k/yr.

#LetsGoOilers

Of all the things our media could focus on, why are they giving a voice to an unemployed politician who has no seat in the house? Canadians spoke. We don't want Poilievre. Can we simply enjoy not having to hear his whiny voice or his negativity? #canadasky

Exactly! A coward, hiding from the citizens!

Canadian doctors are emphasizing that routine COVID-19 vaccinations are not only safe and effective but recommended for pregnant people, countering the approach taken by American officials. #cdnhealth @theglobeandmail.com

A 6-year-old child is dead, but pedestrians "collided" with a BUS??? @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social might want to reconsider their language and apologize to the family.

Vaccines are powerful. But we’re missing a chance to use them to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Our latest report examines how they can reduce AMR and where more evidence is needed to guide policy. Read the report: wellcome.org/reports/vacc...

www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo... IMPORTANT!

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... ANOTHER example of our government's so-called deals with vendors who are fleeting taxpayers. We continue to pay for services NOT rendered.

globalnews.ca/news/1119941... This government has a habit of spending our money on sweetheart deals with vendors who are in fact robbing us blind.

And the hits just keep coming. Every single day RFK Jr demonstrates why he is the worst possibe choice for his current job. Dark Age 2.0 HHS cancels nearly $600 million Moderna contract on vaccines for flu pandemics www.statnews.com/2025/05/28/m... @helenbranswell.bsky.social

Breaking: HHS is canceling a $600 million contract with Moderna to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus.

Political spin, bad science, and lies haven't changed reality. The large & robust body of evidence still shows vaccines save (millions) of lives. We can't let the darkness win.💪
