Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

It seems it wasn't enough to have a literal drone show to advertise how you were privatizing healthcare, now it seems you also need to sully our sidewalks with your nonsense. Ontario is run by oligarchs and it makes me rage with the heat of 1000 suns.

Carney carefully weaves in his shock doctrine narrative, telling us why we have to do this NOW so “we can continue to live our lives as we choose.” The implication being: no oil pipeline, no sovereignty. Which is an unhinged thing to say, actually!

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

Can anyone smarter than me explain how the government aims to create new pre-strike binding mediation legislation (which essentially removes striking as an active tool), yet claims that it will "never interfere with a worker’s right to bargain or to strike?" Because this seems, uh, bad!

This should really piss us off. Mark Carney told the money class at his summit in Toronto he was going to asset flip our airports before telling Canadians. He short-circuited discussion and input from Canadians in his race to enrich the investor class. #CdnPoli #SnakesInSuits #BarbariansAtTheGate

At this point I’m almost wondering if a Conservative minority government would’ve been less harmful, if only because they’d be less effective at implementing the same policies. The pushback would be louder, there’d be checks and balances. But Carney is bulldozing Canada with conservative reforms…

I hand out respirator/breatheteq masks to my patients to help them reduce their risk of getting COVID and Long COVID. Here's the letter I've put together about this for parents about children masking. @longcovidresource.bsky.social @longcovidadvoc.com @longcovidkids.bsky.social #longcovid

Letter with different typeface colours entitled, "Preventing Long COVID in Children". Text as follows:

As described by the Public Health Agency of Canada1,
Long COVID (also known as post-COVID-19 condition) affects children as well as adults.
- It’s long-lasting symptoms after a known or unknown COVID infection.
- The most common Long COVID symptoms in children are:
Fatigue
Headache
Abdominal pain
Sleep problems
Shortness of breath
Cognitive problems (difficulty thinking or concentrating)
Muscle aches and joint pains

I care for children with Long COVID. It can interfere with their social, physical and educational development. You do not want your child to develop Long COVID.

While there are some promising therapies, there is no clear cure for Long COVID.

The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent COVID infections.
Since COVID is airborne, the best way to prevent COVID infections is to wear respirator-type masks (like N95s) all the time indoors. This is why I’m giving you this mask for your child to wear. I personally purchased these to hand out to my patients. This is how important it is to me, as your child’s doctor, for your child to mask: to protect their health.

I know there will be times at school and other places where your child will want to remove their mask. Wearing a mask as much as possible in public indoor spaces will greatly reduce your child’s risk of getting COVID, which will reduce their risk of developing Long COVID. If they wear it 90% of the time, that’s still a huge win and way better than wearing it only 20% of the time, or not at all.

> Key tip: shape the curve of the nose piece first, then put the mask on.

1 Post COVID-19 condition (long COVID): Symptoms and treatment. Public Health Agency of Canada. 8 January 2026. Accessed online at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/symptoms/post-covid-19-condition.html

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!

Screenshot of an article by Althia Raj: “Opinion | Mark Carney runs roughshod over the environment:
'It's worse than what Harper did'”

Excerpt from Althia’s article reads:

“Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to make it easier to kill off endangered species, pollute waterways and risk human health, all in the name of fast-tracking private-sector development projects.
For a prime minister who dismissed progressive Liberal MPs concerns over spending on child care, health care and pharmacare during a caucus meeting this week, Friday's announcement on streamlining infrastructure project approvals is a further indication the party is moving to the right, further than anything Liberals have seen, and a giant call to action to all Canadians who care about the environment.”

Excerpt from Althia’s article reads:

“"It's shocking," Anna Johnston, a staff lawyer at West Coast Environmental Law, told the Star. "This would represent by far the worst evisceration of environmental law in Canadian history, far worse than what happened under Prime Minister (Stephen) Harper's government in 2012."
"It's worse than what Harper did, I agree," said Steven Guilbeault, the Liberal MP and former environment minister. "This goes beyond what Harper proposed when he was in power, yes, that's true"
If the federal government's proposed changes go ahead, Guilbeault said it will mean "we will have no way of evaluating or understanding what are the human health and environment impacts of projects we are approving - and that the main criteria to evaluate projects moving forward, if this is adopted, is going to be economic development and nothing else will matter."
Phil Pothen, a land-use, planning, environmental and administrative lawyer at Environmental Defence, said the government's proposal would "grant any company or project the government chooses a blank cheque to just drive entire species to extinction or extirpation.”
