I like @adam4pk.bsky.social. Instead of the usual promises of money and tax cuts for housing, jobs, health care, he is offering ideas for thoughtful, realistic, systemic change in these areas, grounded in wholistic philosophies and listening to community.

This is our chance. We know there is a global movement to take away democracy. While the power brokers throw the cards up in the air, let's take the opportunity to dissassemble corporate monopolies by participating in #blackouts and boycotts, and support small local enterprise + self-sufficiency.

In case you thought Ford's deal with Musk's Starlink (it's on despite the tariffs)was somehow ok. Call or write his office now. This is extortion. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

How can it be more obvious? Ford is now obsessed with getting "critical minerals out of the ground," even though he hasn't fulfilled promises from the last election and left Ontario with health care and education nightmares. But his new alliance with MAGA means he'll be ready to sell us to the US.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Ford doesn't want to be bothered doing a Premier's job when he could be running for PM. He's not "defending Canadian jobs," he's avoiding answering for his failures in Ontario and he's setting himself up for PC party leader and governor of Canada. Even though he called the election. Ford is MAGA.

Sound familiar? Maybe that's where @fordnation gets his ideas. If you think Ford is fighting for Canadians, think again. He is a Trump wannabe and will throw us under the bus as soon as elected. Get out and vote please!

Without US medical data, Canada cannot adequately prepare to protect Canadians from flu, covid, bird flu, etc. Our leaders should be pressuring the current regime to return to data collection and submission to WHO.

Yikes. A vote for Dave Smith/Doug Ford is a vote for Trump - even though Ford is trying to tell us he would defend us from US tariffs. You got that? That's how serious this election is.

The Conservative government says it wants to create jobs (I think they mean auto manufacturing jobs) but I haven't heard a peep about the opportunity for new agricultural production, given our unstable relationship with the US. What can we grow here that we usually import?

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

Consider the ramifications if US and Canadian scientists cannot discuss or share info about their fields. Will US allow rampant pollution or destruction of our shared waterways? Isolationism is not in Canada's best interests right now. Dethroning illegal kings is our business too.
