Insulin was discovered in Toronto in 1921. Before that, people died. These parents should be jailed. In Canada, the crime is called "failure to provide the necessities of life." There's also "criminal negligence causing death." It doesn't matter who your imaginary friend is. LOOK AFTER YOUR KIDS.

Wait times increasing, as Ontario government privatizes surgeries and imaging! Alberta's doing the same. The Fed are doing nothing to enforce the Canada Health Act.

Trump surviving, the midterms, is more important to danielle Smith than alberta or canada or anything. This creature is a traitor.

My mother survived measles as a little girl in 1930. She was deathly ill for a month. Others in the district died. She died last year at age 100. Right up until she died, she still got her "shots." As did her children.

Ask my son, the refugee lawyer who has to fight tooth and nail to get refugee protection status for his clients. Trump is posting this to feed racist right-wing anti-Immigration canadians a crock of shit. Which they will eat up.

It looks warm, but it's actually about 15 degrees Celsius here on our little lake in ontario. It's several weeks early to be closing up but we're choosing to do it now, because this is a bit cold even for canadians. In september. The dog is disappointed.

I saw the video and photos of that mitch Mcconnell guy. That poor old man. If the workers at my mom's care home had dressed her up and shoved her in a chair And dragged her out in public like that I'd have had them up on charges for elder cruelty. That poor old guy is old and sick.

I totally agree. I am 67 and I don't think we will ever see the u s a again. I would say " not as it was" but it seems that there was just a veneer of civilization and humanity and decency over top a cesspit that was voted in twice. I love my american friends but I think their country is done.

This is happening all the time. You gotta watch like a hawk. Take a pack of sticky-notes with you to the supermarket, and stick 'NOT CANADIAN' stickies anywhere you see this. They'll get taken down but do it anyway. Also point it out to the manager AND write to the company, with pics.

When Toronto's former mayor Rob Ford was running, he and his brother Doug (now premier) handed out Tim Horton's cards in poorer neighbourhoods. When they ran out of cards, they handed out cash. At least those people got their bribe money. We know Trump's not gonna pay up.

My recollection from university decades ago is that when the original Hebrew in Genesis says "let us make Man in our image," the pronoun "us" is feminine plural. I wish I could name a source but it was, like, a course called Concepts of Male and Female in Western Culture, in the 80's. Still...

This week, Trump said "Canada is treating us like their piggy bank. No more!" Canada holds $460,000,000,000 in US debt/is one of the largest investors in US govt. Canada is being used as the US's piggy bank! What if we and (say) Japan (wh/holds $1.1 TRILLION in US debt) sell the US bonds? POOR USA!

Saddened to learn both a friend & a family member went to the States last week. The friend went to Philly for a lifetime dream of seeing a ball game. The family member (with kids & wife) went for some music thing. FFS, people. People in concentration camps down there don't get ball games and music.

My husband and I just finished re-watching for the umpteenth time ANGELS IN AMERICA. The incredible prescience of that play. The horror or Roy Cohn...the conversations amongst the Republican men discussing their overt intention to take over the country...starting with the Supreme Court. *shudder*
