I cannot stress this enough: our government is falling for a corporate scam in using AI the way they are using it. It could very well cost lives. That they are that susceptible to that scam, says a lot about their capability to make other decisions in the best interests of Canada as well. #CDNpoli

"Surely, Canada Strong includes health care, too. Without healthy Canadians, there is no Canada Strong." Research Fellow @danyaalraza.com calls for federal leadership on health care as a nation-building project. 🔗 www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...
Promotional graphic for an article in the Hill Times, dated May 6, 2026. The opinion article by Danyaal Raza is titled "Mark Carney has abandoned health care. Does his caucus care?" An image of a man appears opposite the headline, with a block quote below reading, "Medicare has historically been a touchstone of our national identity, now more than ever as we chart a path away from our southern neighbours. Health care as nation-building, as the highest expression of caring for one another, should be a sufficient reason to invest in systemic improvements. Yet, we have heard little from this government on building our health system to support our nation."

Linda McQuaig sets it out clearly. Privatization is great for investors, lousy for the public. The only question: Is Mark Carney here for Canadians or for foreign investment corporations? Continued Liberal ambiguity about this is causing anxiety we do not need right now. #BillyBishop #MarkCarney

Highway 407 is an example of ruinous privatization. There is also well-documented evidence of problems with hundreds of airport privatizations around the world.

While Ontarians are struggling to afford groceries, rent, and basic bills, Doug Ford spent $29M of taxpayer money on a luxury gravy plane for trips to the U.S. If this was really a “clean giveback,” then show Ontarians the receipts. What are they hiding? #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

So far there has been so much conflicting news. Did he even buy it? Was it a distraction from the changes to FOI? Some say he was using it before the news came out that he was going to buy it. Others say that he has other private jets as well so he didn't need another one. #OAC #ONpoli

Are these heartless changes from the Carney govt really about healthcare or about capturing the attention of young, male, right-wing voters? Dr. Redditt points out that refugees live in poverty. The Carney govt's cruel policy will cause further anguish to extremely vulnerable people. #CdnPoli
"It is a denial of care," said Redditt, who is also a founding member of the Canadian Refugee Health Network.

"I know patients who are grappling with suicidality because of the torture that they have endured or the sexual violence that they have endured and their precarious immigration status," she said.

"They're still living in shelters and they don't have a sense of safety and now they will not have the trauma therapy that they need to be safe."

review of a great book about what was until McVeigh the largest domestic terrorist bombing in America at the Army Math building at the University of Wisconsin in 1970. Fun fact: I lived in the same house one of the bombers hid out in when he fled to Toronto (that's how I discovered the book)

Sometimes, when you listen to American liberals, you just don't know which is which. They can't even agree if it's China or Russia that "influenced" the US election system. Is it Xi or Putin? Or is it both? Also, where does the influence of the American billionaire capitalist ruling classes start?
