On Tuesday the BC Supreme Court vacated the convictions of the co-founders of DULF, which bought and sold clean illegal drugs on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and struck down a part of Canada's drug laws. None of it was ideal, but in this crisis, it was to the good. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

Conrad Black will forever and exclusively be remembered as a traitor who renounced his Canadian citizenship, committed over $6,000,000.00 in fraud, was convicted, and then lovingly shone Trump's penny-loafers with his decrepit tongue to secure an undeserved pardon for his crimes. What a legacy.

if immigration laws are liberalized, immigrant labourers will be more difficult to exploit. harsh immigration policy basically gives every employer monopsony power, since it's difficult for workers with restricted status to change jobs—keeping labour artificially cheap even if the supply is tight

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

nbcnews.com

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

“What we’ve seen is a systematic bias against properly maintaining and funding our public health-care system and our public hospital system in favour of funding and supporting and encouraging the emergence of health care as a private business." #OnPoli #OnHealth

In Ottawa, they compiled data that showed the city has at least 10 MRI machines across its network of hospitals. Most of them close overnight — one at 3 p.m. — and shut down on weekends. City hospitals also have dozens of operating rooms, most of which close by 5 p.m. and on weekends, the report said.

If given the proper funding, hospitals could expand their hours of operation and perform the procedures being done at private clinics for far less money, it adds.

Kevin Skerrett, a researcher and executive at the Ottawa Health Coalition, said the move is part of an overall strategy of the provincial government to create a private health care system.

Infuriating. “Local public hospitals already have the facilities: operating rooms and MRIs are sitting unused in local public hospitals because they are not given adequate funding to run them full time,” says the report..." #OnPoli #OnHealth

“Furthermore, the evidence is that the for-profit clinics have not reduced wait times for the majority, serving mostly a minority of high-income people while actually lengthening waits for the majority of patients.”
