Exactly! Yet they speak about eroding even more funding and services. That is the point of Governance and Public Government: to serve its people.

Agree! So disappointing they defund a Crown Corp like Canada Post by allowing competitors that are unfairly competing: poor employee compensation, non unionized, 0 pension, minimum hours, terrible fleet management and yet blame Canada Post por not being competitive when is not an even playing field

If you’re a survivor of sexual abuse… it is a tough time to be online.

It’s ok to take breaks. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to rage.

Whatever you’re feeling is valid.

I like to remind myself what Gisele Pelicot said… “shame must change sides”

We’re going to make the abusers feel shame now.

Evil in action. So much power, and knowledge and they had no responsibility. Shameful.

Family of Fisherman Killed in U.S. Military Strike Says It Wants Justice

The furor over the death of a Colombian fisherman has ignited a feud over the huge U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the legality of the deadly attacks on nearly 20 vessels since September.

It’s the “new normal”.

Not “normal”.

You can’t wander about pretending SARS 2 doesn’t exist and think everything is gonna be fine.

It’s not fine.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be over here, dismissing positive feedback from the people who matter and obsessing over that one negative comment from a total stranger.

I may be some time.

Of course patients should be seen in 90 minutes in the ER and 95% of cancer surgeries should completed by 56 days but, rather increasing resources, it’s doctors who are financially penalized for the lack of resources and fined $500k if they object:

Yes, the loss of #measles elimination status is proof that Public Health in Canada is broken.

They had one job. They saw this coming. We saw it coming.

And they did NOTHING.

Fire them all. Require all public health & infectious disease education programs in the country revise their curriculum.

You might like this satirical quote. When is convenient, the law is for everyone. When it has compounded costs, is only for the ones that have privilege. It is a mistery to me why countries with socialized medicine don’t do more to maximize vax and other preventative measures.

Snopes fact-check article titled “No, doctors weren’t warning about new ‘COVID-25’ strain with ‘very different signs’.” Subheading reads, “Different strains of the COVID-19 virus sometimes come with symptoms that are specific to them.” Below, a woman wrapped in a blue blanket sneezes into a tissue, illustrating illness.

"Different strains of the COVID-19 virus sometimes come with symptoms that are specific to them"

Two new SARS-CoV-2 strains circulated in 2025:

“Nimbus” (NB.1.8.1) causing a “razor blade throat,” and “Stratus” (XFG) causing a “persistent dry cough” and spreading much faster due to immune evasion.

most solid organ transplant recipients can't be vaccinated for measles.

which is why it's doubly important for everyone else

Brilliant science! I learned that same fact in an unlikely place in a casual conversation about Menopause. So when an MD was pushing anti depressants for a teen, I suggested, how about they first check her iron? Sure enough, she takes iron pills now and not antidepressants and it is much better!!!

On Remembrance Day we remember my husband’s uncle who died in the skies over Europe and his father, who never recovered after losing his twin and the fighter pilots he taught. We remember my husband’s mother who lost many she loved.

Soon there’ll be none left to tell their stories

#LestWeForget

Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now:

I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases.

The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.

‼️ Mexico's first woman president, Claudia Sheinbaum, just announced she's pressing charges after being groped in the street:

“If they do this to the president, what happens to all the women in our country?”

Act now, tell PM Carney & Ministers: no taxpayer subsidies for American billionaires!

Ksi Lisims LNG is no "nation-building project". & it's not Indigenous-owned. It's a Trojan Horse for the same Wall Street private equity giants buying up 🇨🇦 real estate, telecoms & energy infrastructure.

I know, I know,
you are probably annoyed
by that coworker or relative
who is always saying
how much they love
the smell of winter,
but at this point, be thankful
when you hear them say that,
for at least it means that they
still have their sense of smell.

As an immigrant from Colombia, with young kids I couldn’t do this soccer is a year round sport thing (mostly because I am not committed to soccer/cold) so decided to look where other immigrants put their kids: basketball, badminton and horseback riding became the winter « indoor » sports! 🏆

Moi dans ma cuisine tenant une feuille de blette. J'ai un t-shirt rose sombre, une chemise à carreaux blanc-beige, un leggins gris, des chaussettes noire et blanche motif Noël et un bonnet orange (je reviens du potager, il fait -1°) La feuille de blette mesure 62cm, 96 si on compte la tige, ça fait un beau poisson.

Posing with my veggies like men pose with fish

I often feel an immense desire to approach and connect people who wear N95. They are all bold super heroes!

My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough).

Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated.

I promise I won’t hug you either.

I think there is no honour left. At our municipality, the school council expressed dismay as TEARS at gutting the school district budget eliminating programs THEIR kids enjoyed. They did it because they have a conflict of interest so they vote for what keeps their income. Shameful day for America

A tweet from the account @1goodtern. The message reads: Well, tomorrow will be another day serving a community full of people who are trying to make each other as sick as possible. I'm very glad to have an online community on here who know the danger and try to do something about it. Loads of love to all of you! The tweet is timestamped 6:45 AM on November 9, 2025 and shows 11.2K views.

Tern is right. It’s great having an informed online community that’s adapted to the ongoing pandemic reality and is doing everything possible to stay safe.

I know it’s been a tough ride, but please know you are not alone.

This Senate deal is political malpractice. Americans like me will be burdened with health insurance that is not affordable. If the Democrats doing this deal think that it is for voters like me, they are wrong.

What a failure of imagination and leadership.
