Fighting to Care: The Story of Immigrant Doctors in Québec
YouTube video by The Rover Fighting to Care: The Story of Immigrant Doctors in Québec

Quebec is facing a healthcare crisis. One in 5 Quebecers doesn't have a family doctor, while up to 1,800 immigrant doctors aren't working in their field.

Nadia Zouaoui, director of the documentary "Le serment d'Hippocrates," is joined by Dr. Fernanda Juarez to discuss this contradiction.

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a Video Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

People loved it when Carney called Trump “transformational,” a word with multiple meanings that led the U.S. president to hear only what he wanted to hear.

But is that what Carney did to all of us with his Davos speech, too?

In light of his support of the Iran bombings, I’d argue yes:

SAAQclic : quand l'État ne sait plus « faire » ni « faire faire » – The Rover SAAQclic dépasse le simple scandale administratif. Il révèle quelque chose de plus profond, soit l'érosion graduelle de la capacité de l'État à agir par lui-même et à encadrer efficacement les actions...

SAAQclic : Depuis les années 1990, le sous-financement chronique et l’externalisation des fonctions stratégiques ont rongé l’expertise interne, fragmenté la mémoire organisationnelle et affaibli la capacité d’encadrement.

The Union That Doesn’t Like Confrontation The Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) prefers to work with, not against, employers. So what happens when workers want something different?

The CLAC prides itself on being a "different kind of union," in that it doesn't believe in confrontation.

Sooo… what happens when workers want something else?

School Board Votes to Support Candidate who Smeared Rival, Acted in ‘Undignified’ Manner – The Rover Julien Feldman gets off scot-free after falsely associating his rival candidate with antisemitism and referring to her as “Ms. Gaza.”

For a moment, Shalani Bel thought she’d finally found justice.

Nearly two years after a 2024 English Montreal School Board election that saw her political rival refer to her as "Ms. Gaza," the EMSB ethics commissioner found that Julien Feldman smeared her. Then, EMSB council reversed the decision.

Is the right-wing media world...okay? (feat. Luke LeBrun) YouTube video by Rachel Gilmore

It’s time to talk about right-wing media.

Because things aren’t just weird on Juno News, a platform that sat down with a mass deportation fan who even Jason Kenney called racist.

There’s also a growing group of “influencers” that have Canadians scratching their heads.

Photographs of loved ones, purple and pink butterfly placards, and a long red scroll of beloved names — all symbols to honour MMIWG2S+ in "Winnipeg" last weekend.

An arbitrator has ruled against the AFL in a dispute between the fed, Unifor 445 (which represents AFL staff), and UFCW 401, finding that the AFL violated the Union Security Clause of their collective bargaining agreement by bringing in an outside worker who wasn't represented by their union.

“Smith blamed what she called the ‘disastrous open-border immigration policies’ of former prime minister Justin Trudeau for straining Alberta’s health care, education and social services programs. Smith did not mention her government’s ‘Alberta is Calling’ campaign.”

Why is one of the largest independent so-called “news” outlets in Canada platforming a guy whose wet dream seems to that Canada could one day outdo ICE with our own mass deportation agenda?

That’s….a choice.

One that even Jason Kenney (!!) is calling out:
