This shows Canadians that a bit of pressure can effect change.

And there is more for Canadians to do.

Join me in writing to your MP. We need to suspend the Canada–U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement. It is the right thing to do.

She was kidnapped in the ‘90s. You’d think she remembers the horror of being taken.

It is easy to become distracted by everything happening south of the border and there are only so many hours in the day.😞

Email the Horatio Alger Association at association@horatioalger.org and ask them to revoke the award & lifetime membership given to Robert Miller who sits on the Board of Directors of the Jim Pattison Group. The award is for leaders who have triumphed over adversity, not ones who impose it.

This Canadian is boycotting & have written to my MP asking for Pattison’s order of Canada be rescinded if the sale goes through. Also emailed the Horatio Alger Association asking them to rescind the award given to Robert Miller who sits on the board of directors of Jim Pattison Group.

B.C.'s attorney general urges Canadian businesses to 'think about their role' in supporting ICE operations | CBC News B.C. billionaire Jim Pattison and Vancouver-based Hootsuite are among the Canadian companies facing backlash for business ties to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

I just emailed my MP asking her to raise this issue in the house and recommend rescinding his Order of Canada if he sells. Profiteering from an authoritarian organization of masked thugs that kidnap children, disappear citizens and murder peaceful protesters, falls short of the Order's principles.

Also write to the Horatio Alger Association and ask them to revoke the award and lifetime membership bestowed upon Robert Miller who sits on Board of Directors for the Jim Pattison Group. Maybe humiliation will help leverage some type of moral compass.

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

Nothing will get better unless and until we reject the system that prioritizes and protects the ultra wealthy at the expense of everyone and everything else.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

No notes needed.

Contribution of vaccination to improved survival and health: modelling 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization Since 1974 substantial gains in childhood survival have occurred in every global region. We estimate that EPI has provided the single greatest contribution to improved infant survival over the past 50...

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.

Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is scary. Targeted with anonymous, AI-generated accusations. Then the University quickly gets on board to undercut its own scholar before figuring out if they are true. This could happen to any of us…

How much did Trump learn about Dominion voting machines during the legal proceedings? I’m still not convinced this info wasn’t used maliciously by Trump’s tech bros to win the 2024 election. We never heard anything more about Russian backed bomb threats at polling centres.

What was it called before?

Looks like a great plan if they want to help keep Trump in office.

I echo your comments.

It is hard to be a “friend of CBC” when you see this reprehensible, treasonous garbage getting airtime.
