A Christian relative recently told me she doesn't have to do anything Jesus says to do, she only has to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

Major πŸ™„ at that bit of cognitive dissonance.

I remember when we used to line up at the Lou Soppit Centre and get our flu vaccine. It was so easy. Why can't we do that again? 🀷

The Right is following the Trump Trope. They don't care what the story is, as long as they're making news.

Nothing to see here...

I'm so sorry. Nobody should have to fundraise for healthcare.
I keep hoping to see Democrats change the stranglehold insurance and pharmaceutical companies have on people but nothing changes when they're in power, so what's the answer?

I had two Islet cell transplants in 2013 in Alberta. I was in hospital for 4 or 5 days for each one. Three IVs, blood work every four hours.
I also only paid for parking but was able to deduct it from my taxes. 😁

If you’re looking for a place to sign the #ForeverCanadian referendum petition, they’ll be at the Strathcona Farmers market tomorrow (Saturday) at 10 AM!

Sounds like @lukaszukab.bsky.social is looking for canvassers as well!

Conspiracy theories could harm sustainability www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"...conspiracy beliefs are mostly associated with reduced public health and well-being, weakened social cohesion and deteriorated basic human rights..."

Yup. They do it for good pay, pension, and an otherwise elusive health plan.
