Wow.

Good. Maybe more flights to CDMX, Berlin, Buenos Aires and Sao Paolo, to name a few.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

still can't believe ontario keeps voting for a guy whose idea of making things better for its residents is "force way more debt on university students," "build spa literally no one wanted," and "dig underground car tunnel literally no one asked for" like how are we this masochistic

Honestly, if my first hadn’t been born before 2016, I might have chosen differently. I can’t regret having them, or even imagine them not being here, but feel so guilty at the same time

Exactly! Our kids love oysters (when we can afford to buy them, lol) because they love customizing them with the tiny spoon and assorted condiments

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

β€œPierre Poilievre was Housing Minister in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, which allowed 800,000 affordable rental units to be sold off to corporate landlords and developers. Under Harper, the average home price in Canada went up 70%, and Poilievre refused to do anything about it.”

I fear that the rhetoric around this is going to get very ugly very quickly because of the age we're living in.

The Canadian far-right is marinating in the same online swamps as the American far-right.

mRNA flu vaccines have better immunogenicity and better efficacy than traditional flu jab, and can be developed, manufactured and updated faster.

By denying US market, Prasad has essentially killed any prospect of a realistic mRNA flu vaccine in any market.

This guy and his RFK army are ghouls.

Conservatives built the Alberta separatist movement. Now they have to break it Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney spent years whipping voters into a frenzy against Ottawa. Now, at least, he's doing something to put out the fire he helped start. Will any of his Conservative coll...

Conservatives spent over a decade feeding the insatiable appetite in Alberta for anger and alienation towards Ottawa.

Now, like Jason Kenney, they need to step up and slay the beast they helped create before it does even more damage. #cdnpoli #abpoli

1. Underfund public boards.
2. Increase class sizes.
3. Remove resources.
4. Blame teachers.

John Snobelen would be so proud of Doug Ford and the Cons.

I can only imagine how maddening it must be to have him running the country you served into the ground. It’s not just a US problem either; the Cons here came too close to power in our last election. We all have a lot of work to do!!

A picture of Pierre Poilievre above one of his favourite things to say, β€œCanada is broken.”

Pierre Poilievre refuses to get national security clearance. Very sus, as my 8-year old students would say. Bruce Fanjoy has sponsored a petition which calls on all party leaders to have a security clearance.

Please sign the petition and share it far and wide.

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades.
Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just "take advantage of America!" What does the United States of America get β€” Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China β€” which will eat Canada alive. We'll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.
