Thanks, John. It's really in the Liberals' interest to get this right. As time goes on, it will become more widely known that some Canadian women have access to both free contraception & hormone treatment and others don't. And women came out in force for LPC last election.
I care about the policy.

Vesna, I keep seeing the faces of American soldiers who died needlessly in this Trump war and I worry it soon could be Canadian soldiers too.

The provincially-appointed administrator may want to make special education funding an βoptionβbecause he has to find the βefficienciesβ that will prove that the present provincial grant structure is sufficient. Unfortunately this serves to pit parents against each other for scarcer resources.

All the signs are there that the federal government is slow-walking it. I've got lots on this I could pull out (but not the time), including news articles from provinces wanting to sign.
The Carney government CAN make mistakes. It's making one here.

βͺ"one thing about that Davos speech that appealed was that for all the pragmatism, it felt like Carney still stood for something. In this dangerous world, Canada needs to see clearly what we are dealing with. But we also need to remember who we are," writes @brucearthur.bsky.social

Iβve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administrationβs Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

Why do perimenopausal & menopausal women in BC & Manitoba have access to free menopausal hormone therapy & we don't? National pharmacare.
This is the same pharmacare Mark Carney is now slow-walking. Not expanding.

Recap on Carney and Anand on #Iran:
1οΈβ£ They support the US and Israel's attacks.
2οΈβ£ For three days, π¦π¦π¦ on international law.
3οΈβ£ Carney: actually, we support attacks "with regret" & it's prima facie illegal
4οΈβ£ We can't rule out Canada joining in.
Seriously: What will they say tomorrow?
