As a Canadian and Liberal supporter , I do not support the US warmongering aggression. I am very disappointed in this statement. We should be more independent. Jean Chretien had the right approach.

Unbelievably rude and shows how inadequate they feel to crow over winning a hockey game.

We are treated as contract workers or small business owners without being able to charge the necessary fees to cover overheads and administrative support. Doctors have to pay rent and staff out of the OHIP fee. This fee has not kept pace with inflation. Who would want to open a GP office these days?

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Don’t let the professionally dishonest & the intentionally disingenuous frame an issue as a binary choice of either getting run over or shooting a person. There is literally a universe of options between those two extremes. Stop listening to dolts or liars. Options, create them, and use them…

Great summation by @mrjamesob.bsky.social on what happens if #NATO should fall apart. (Extra kudos for quoting Yeats.)

NATO, the must successful alliance at maintaining peace, in global history.

Threats to #Greenland #Canada #Venezuela #Cuba, are threats to global peace & stability.

The law isn’t a vibe. It’s what keeps Canada fair, equal, and (mostly) polite. 🇨🇦

A good question. My niece a lovely person, no science education, is anti vax, her child is unvaccinated despite coming from a medical family. I can't get over she thinks all that medical training is WRONG, that WE are the misguided ones. Her grandfather at age of 2 nearly died of diphtheria.

The Blue Jays’ inspiring playoff run captured the imagination of Canadians. As the Jays advanced in the playoffs, Canadians came to believe in the power of positivity & unity. Let’s carry that spirit with us in the days, weeks, & months ahead as we face serious challenges as a nation.

She hasn't read the judgement. A minimal sentence gives no room for a judge's independent decision. The example given is a comprising photo on a teenager's phone that was sent as a group.This needs to be vigorously addressed but perhaps not by a year in jail. She is a blunt instrument herself.

Poilievre & the MAGA CONS have been criticized for attacking scientists & research by pledging to cut funding for projects they label as influenced by woke ideology. This approach is seen as a threat to academic freedom & scientific integrity. Similar tactics used by far-right movements in the US.

Canada take note. They are doing the same thing here. This is how they will try and make us the 51st state. We have our extreme right wing people who would collude with the US to bring fascist government here. Book banning and anti-vaccine sentiment is already with us.

It was individual boycotts that produced these numbers. These must continue. In addition, increasing and allying our defense spending with European companies, hurts the powerful US military/ finance complex. Europe is already doing this.
This is how we retaliate and stand up to the bully.

They weren't working anyway. And Canada and China were the only countries to put on retaliatory tariffs. Other countries waited to see and realized like Canada now has, that nothing works dealing with an impulsive creature of base instincts except trying to limit the damage. This is where we are.

Finally Canada is getting some independent vaccine supply. It is a start so let us keep going and while we are at it, transfer mRNA research next . We can become leaders in cancer treatment.

Moderna just received Health Canada authorization for its updated LP.8.1 variant COVID-19 vaccine.

The exciting part? It will be manufactured domestically!
Their authorization allows parts of the vaccine to be produced at Moderna’s new facility in Quebec, while the fill-finish will be handled by Novocol Pharma in Ontario. The domestically produced vaccine will be ready for this year’s fall vaccination campaign.

I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩

Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!

Why is a "list" more important than the actual women who have been trying to talk about what happened to them haven't been listened to. There is plenty of evidence without the "list". Like everything else, he gets away with it. Empathy for the vulnerable is being choked to death in the US.

Cities worldwide are embracing urban forest restoration.
As heatwaves & rising temperatures become more common, these green spaces can help reduce temperatures by 2 to 8°C.

Toronto’s story is just one example of what #GenerationRestoration can achieve:

Have been following you for some time because I really like your posts. I decided to see who you are, was thrown off by you being the best Christian, but then perhaps you are that rare bird and actual Christian Christian? A deeper dive and you are Canadian !!!! Great parody + intelligent commentary
