U.S. commentator Glenn Beck offers to pay for surgery to save Canadian approved for MAID Her condition is treatable, but Saskatchewan doesn't have a surgeon who can complete the surgery. She has waited years to see a specialist

Stoked she's gonna get to see the specialist she needs buts leave it Glenn fucking Beck to use her story as a lightning rod for all conservatives drooling for more private care. Canada AND Americas issues will not be fixed from further delving into privatization.

Remember Ostrich Osheaga?

When a bunch of far-right convoy influencers, health nuts, antivaxxers and even RFK Jr himself waged war on the Canada Food Inspection Agency over an ostrich cull?

Well, my friends at @nationalobserver.com got some wild insider info on the impact of this harassment:

Ontario is losing wetlands: Severn's is an example | The Narwhal A developer built a trail through a wetland near Orillia, catching neighbours and the township by surprise. Across Ontario, wetlands are getting harder and harder to protect

When a developer carved a path through a wetland, the extent caught neighbours and Severn Township by surprise — but there was little anyone could do. Wetlands are disappearing across Ontario, along with the rules meant to protect them. thenarwhal.ca/severn-ontar...

In a city where winter can last up to 6 months, it's important to feel close to nature in some way.
This is one of my ways.

Sask. woman considers MAID because she can't get needed surgery for rare disease | CBC News For the past eight years Jolene Van Alstine has suffered from a rare form of parathyroid disease, normocalcemic primary hyperparathryroidism (nPHPT). It causes extreme bone pain.

Au Canada, un cas supplémentaire d'une personne qui ne peut pas bénéficier des soins dont elle a besoin et qui sollicite et obtient la validation de sa demande d'aide médicale à mourir.

Alberta likely to pass another bill that invokes the notwithstanding clause tonight Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government was poised Tuesday to pass legislation invoking the Charter’s notwithstanding clause for a fourth time in this sitting. A bill invoking the rights-override ...

When a government loses the confidence of the people, when they are forced to use undemocratic processes to pass unwanted legislation.
That is a road to fascism.
It is not hyperbolic to say so.

If you think companies won't absolutely abuse that power you haven't met a contractor in Canada.

Trump Signals Backing of Direct $1,500 Payments for Millions of Americans

"I like the concept. I don't want to give the insurance companies any money," the president told reporters on board Air Force One.

Yesterday, I testified on anti-feminist ideology before a House of Commons committee.

The internet handled it…about as well as you’d expect.

The part that I didn’t necessarily expect, however, was the unhinged nature of some of the questions I’d be asked.

Come with me behind the scenes:

Oh my. That's.. that's pretty bad.

Literally the worst out of all G7 countries. Our emissions have actually INCREASED.
It's a failure of our elite, to not be able to sell a different dream with a concrete plan and pathway away from fossil fuels without leaving the working class behind.
Unimaginative neo liberalism at its finest.

Huh.. ceasefire must mean something different over there.

Rachel Gilmore on the anti-DEI movement: "I think that to attack these notions is a dog whistle to the worst elements of society that are seeing a slide towards a more fascistic world. And every politician who engages in that should be ashamed of themselves."

Why Quebec’s plan to enshrine abortion rights is raising alarms Civil society groups are warning that the Legault government’s plan to enshrine abortion rights in Quebec’s proposed constitution could have unintended consequences.

Reproductive rights groups do NOT want the Quebec government to enshrine abortion rights in the province's proposed constitution. First, it's not really a constitution - it's a regular law that can be amended. And that would turn it into an anti-choice weapon to restrict abortion.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?

Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."

Anything that punctures that myth helps. +
