Canada’s public health care is at a turning point.

Alberta opening the door to private, for-profit insurance risks importing a U.S. two-tier system. Rallies across the country are asking MPs one simple question: will you defend public health care or stay silent?

Be under no illusion that Israel plans to carry out another genocide—in Lebanon

On Sunday, CBC Cross Country Checkup is hosting a discussion on whether "private clinics" will solve Canada's health care challenges, and how much people are willing to pay

I hope the show includes voices from those with actual research expertise, not just privatization zealots

I worry that I’m gonna be repeating that Israel’s goal is to destroy Lebanon itself and that this will be a catastrophe for the entire world while being gaslit that that’s not what’s happening while Israel does exactly that

Global food supplies could be badly hit if Iran war drags on, says fertiliser boss

Astonishing incompetence from the Trump regime. They can’t even conduct their illegal war.

The US is becoming more and more like Russia every day.

They can’t endure nor finance war on so many fronts

The US will be insolvent if this goes on for weeks

Straight up fascism.

The propagandists can’t handle that there isn’t 100% manufactured consent to this illegal war.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

There is a race to the bottom going in with Freedom of Information laws across the country, at every level of government.

A couple of years ago, British Columbia tripled processing fees, justifying it by saying that Alberta charged the same fee.

Two people die after donating plasma at Canadian clinics under federal investigation Company that runs the sites says it has ‘no reason to believe there is a correlation between the donors’ passing and plasma donation’

We need both a full coroner's inquest and Health Canada investigation

A coroner's inquest has the power to reveal issues that Health Canada is not going to want to touch
