Wilhelm said the food bank saw the numbers start to climb in June 2022, and the number of monthly users has continued to rise. Before the pandemic, the food bank spent around $200,000 annually on food. Now, it spends more than $3 million each year, Wilhelm said. #onpoli

Canadians will officially never recoup the costs of ***TMX*** and the government is going to drive the orcas to extinction for ANOTHER oil pipeline. Isn’t Carney supposed to be a great economic brain or something?? Why are we killing the whales for nothing?!

There is a model penal code crime: depraved heart murder. It is not commonly called that in state laws, but is equivalent to 2nd degree murder in most jurisdictions. It is acting so recklessly as to have extreme indifference for human life. There is no intent standard like in other murder charges.

Carney to the EU: "We believe that a strong economy is not an end in itself, but the means to a just society. We are committed stewards of our natural heritage. We believe that our prosperity grows when it is shared." I wish the Carney we hear in speeches was the Carney who governs Canada.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

*10 year olds* with such crippling gambling addictions, they need an intervention. Gambling has always existed but little kids were not gambling at the bingo hall, the casino or underground poker games. The ease and accessibility of gambling, especially sports gambling, is a menace to society.

At least 14 have been killed after a bombed-out building collapses in Gaza. It underscores how desperate living conditions have grown for Palestinians as a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas stalls.

He denied and covered up Rob's substance-abuse issues for YEARS before finally hustling him off to a rehab spa when the media got proof. It is an obscenity that Doug Ford could emerge from that experience without empathy or compassion for those who are struggling.

A lot of people have said to me “but why would the government lie about the risks from Covid?” And I’m sorry but the answer is always because capital is valued over lives and they want you to go back to work, it was true in the mines, true on the railroads, true post-9/11, and true now.
