If they won’t listen to Adrienne Clarkson (and I’m sure they won’t), I don’t know who they’ll listen to. The state of women’s healthcare in Canada is horrific. Some might say deadly.

To be permitted and built just in time for the world to electrify, killing the business case for LNG growth. This is like investing in Blockbuster in 2004, when the company was at it's peak, and Netflix was new on the scene.

He just said that Indigenous knowledge will help the government to ensure that the ocean waters “remain safe, sustainable and healthy for future generations and for all the life that lives in them.” WHAT ABOUT THE SOUTHERN RESIDENT ORCAS YOU’RE GETTING POWERS TO DRIVE TO EXTINCTION MARK? MARK???

OMG this Carney press conference is such a greenwashing joke. I guess he heard our anger about removing protections for the coast for his ridiculous pipeline... How can he think anyone is going to take this seriously?? He really thinks British Columbians are stupid, doesn't he.

Uh oh, looks like “central sensitisation” is becoming contagious to medical providers/researchers down the coast from CSS central (Vancouver). The fact that “anxiety” is in the alt text of a presentation about endometriosis tells me all I need to know. 🫠

Greetings from the maskless public health clinic, where the official coronavirus guidance in the year of our lord 2026 is to cough into your elbow.

Various posters on the wall of the public health clinic. A large one is titled "how to build global community" and has a long list of guiding principles such as "talk to strangers", "question consumption", and "notice the workings of power and privilege in your culture". There are many other, smaller posters promoting such things as HPV vaccines, privacy protection, and zero tolerance for workplace abuse. One poster, titled "positive space", says: "this is a place where we uphold human rights and provide affirming, inclusive healthcare for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations".

Ben taking a photo of himself in the mirror of the public health clinic bathroom. Ben is wearing a black cap (to hide helmet hair), an N95 respirator, and a striped blue t-shirt. There is a heart-shaped, "Progress Pride" sticker on the bathroom mirror.

I watched this and only feel more confused about whether in our mid-40s we'll be able to somehow make a life here w/my current circumstances. We could so easily start over if I wasn't sick, disabled, mostly housebound, and having to take covid/airborne precautions (almost nobody still masks here). 🫠

1. My mother passed away three years ago today. She died in the early hours of the morning in the nursing home she had lived in from late 2019. The nursing home was, at that point, in a Covid-19 outbreak, the eleventh outbreak in the facility since the pandemic began.

A selfie photograph of my mother and I. We are both smiling. My mother's hair is blond and she is wearing glasses. The chairs of a theatre can be seen behind us.

Mark Carney is privatizing airports and allowing foreign investors (mainly American) to buy up the country. Slashing corporate tax rates and offering up vast amounts of resources for mining and extraction corporations. The country is for sale. Liberal voters were duped.

UST IN: Canada has announced to reduce marginal effective tax rate on new business investment to 6.4% from 13%, the lowest among the G7, and half the rate in the US, per the Globe and Mail

The changes will take effect right away and remain permanent.

Mark Carney on airport privatization: "We will seek private investment through long-term concessions to operate Canada's four largest airports, following best practice in other countries. The Government of Canada will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets."

@KatusaResearch
Canada handed 300 of the world's biggest investors a 66-page pitchbook this week

▪️167 projects worth about US$425 billion

▪️63 of them are MINES

That's more than the clean energy, oil and gas, and data-centre chapters combined.

I couldn’t quite put it into words myself, but something visibly happened inside Carney’s head when he was being compared to Harper - was he scoffing, like it was absurd? Is he not self aware about this? Does he actually believe he’s not governing just like Harper?

Private equity moguls and fund managers love it! Once they’re in, they own a piece of a natural monopoly, and they print money for decades. This is a mistake we do not need to make. The alternative to privatizing our airports is to NOT DO IT.
