Bullshit. They know the rules. The beach is public to the high water mark. Tax payer money absoloutly shoukd be used to enforce the public good and public commons.

@mark-carney.bsky.social we want no deal. No concessions. Trump’s in trouble, don’t give him one. We are willing to sacrifice now.

There is no doubt. But this seems like an easy pawn to lose in this whole realignment. It gets trade flowing, which we still need. It gives Trump a public win (all he cares about) even if Carney and Canada look week at home too. Not ass kissing per se. And another thing we had to do until Nov…

Good to see our health care workers and hospitals get the recognition they deserve. As we protect Canada’s world-class health care system, we’re also determined to make it better — by building new facilities and ensuring our health professionals have the support they need.

Screenshot of an article on the CTV News website. The headline reads: This Toronto hospital was just ranked second-best in the world by Newsweek.

There has not even been a glimmer of light from them. No sense that they are organizing and moving forward. I think it’s because no one knows how they should do their “re alignment”. It’s insane. No leadership.

I think “they” think those entities can do those things. Even if the American world order prevented it in the past. They don’t care about that. The world is multipolar, everyone can make the rules now. America gave it up.

We have had many travel nurses decide to stay at my site in the last few years. I’m in Kelowna.

chris-barta.bsky.social @chris-barta.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

The question is why are nurses choosing travel nursing over a regular position? Market answers can help the public system. If the public system was more flexible and paid better nurses would take positions.

chris-barta.bsky.social @chris-barta.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

I know my hospital would hire as many Nurses as needed, especially since Covid. Travel nurses were a stopgap once but also met the lifestyle needs of some nurses. Addressing working conditions and flexibility in work helps. Hourly rate also a factor. B.C. Has a travel program for staff now too.
