TIME TO GIVE LYING PETE HOEKSTRA THE BUM'S RUSH
YouTube video by Charlie Angus TIME TO GIVE LYING PETE HOEKSTRA THE BUM'S RUSH

Please watch and share.
Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out.
MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Burning wood indoors is not a good idea unless you are in a sauna or visiting a remote hut in cold conditions. Poor combustion worsens air quality in built areas.

Ontario hospitals told to find savings; ministry doesn't rule out service cuts TORONTO - Ontario's Ministry of Health has tasked hospitals struggling with deficits to come up with a three-year plan to balance their budgets, and service cuts and bed closures do

Ontario's hospitals have been starved to the point of collapse, but sure, find more savings because Doug Ford refuses to fund the system adequately.
Just appalling.

Poilievre’s clearance β€œrefusal” is the biggest scandal in history. What’s he hiding?

Leaders who love Canada are cleared and stay informed. A superpower is attacking our sovereignty and economy! His excuse? β€œCan’t speak freely if I know truth.” He’s a five-alarm security risk!

For Canadians, an important read.

"Dimitri Soudas said Poilievre's recent statements demonstrated "recklessness" and "a leadership approach that remains rooted in grievance rather than governance.""

Upon much reflection, I am comfortable in saying that Pierre Poilievre is the most petty, small, arrogant, and spiteful Canadians I can think of in my 52 years of life thus far.

How he got to where he is is a mystery to me.

Canada’s boycott America movement is hurting innocent bystanders | CNN Business Virginia Distillery CEO Gareth Moore was bullish on his company’s American single malt whisky sales north of the border when 2025 kicked off.

No matter how much you cry about it, we will never ever be your girlfriend.

The boycott is doing its job, beautifully. Look who is complaining.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

So it doesn't matter that she died of covid or measles or starvation or whatever we couldn't bother to stop because she had an underlying condition.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?

A recipe for avoiding 15 million deaths a year and climate disaster is fixing food, scientists say Scientists are presenting new evidence that the worst effects of climate change can’t be avoided without a major transformation of food systems.

When it comes to climate change, our diets matter β€” and matter a lot.

Not to mention for biodiversity, water, and especially our own health.

The updated EAT-Lancet report makes this abundantly clear.

Most people I talk to act like covid is over and are mildly puzzled about the bad summer virus that was going around. When I said I had covid this summer, everyone was surprised.
"How did you know?" I tested. Yes, you can still get masks & tests and take precautions to protect yourself & others.

I guess it's like knitting lace in that way. It's often not possible (at least by a mere mortal) to drop down and fix an error in lace a few rows below.
