If you live in BC the current COVID numbers are 1 in 72 w/ an infection. Around half are asymptomatic and contagious. Many with symptoms are walking around maskless and saying it's 'just a cold.' Mask* up to protect yourself. * w/ a respirator #N95sSaveLives covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard...

If we bought them nationally we could probably get a great deal! Buy enough to shrink wait times to 4 weeks non-urgent. Stop giving corporations & voters small tax breaks. No election promise rebates cheques to cover the cost.

Because Canada's baseline export volume to the US is so massive, a modest 4% bump in Canadian production and pipeline flow would equal roughly 36-40M barrels over that same timeframe, completely offsetting Russian supply.

Effective October 9, 2026, I am resigning my position as a Bencher with the Law Society of Alberta.
The purpose of the Law Society is to uphold and protect the public interest in the administration of justice. It is with real disappointment that I say I have lost faith that this body is fulfilling that purpose.
The rule of law is under vicious attack in this province and I am not the first, nor will I be the last, to call this out.
When an institution is silent in the face of what is happening in this province, that silence is complicity.
In the last year I have watched the Law Society move to dismantle the diversity, equity and inclusion work we built over several years, in response to the political ideologies of the current government. An institution truly committed to those principles would defend them when it became inconvenient to do so. Commitments that disappear the moment they are tested were never commitments at all.
I am not willing to lend my name or my presence to decisions I cannot support.
I hope one day you will find your courage,
Moira

Health insurance is non-profit, backed by gov in Japan and so regulated it is indistinguishable from public insurance. Everyone without an employer gets the National Health Insurance. Seniors, self employed, unemployed… 4 weeks non-urgent specialist referrals, 2 week MRI’s & annual physicals 👍

Prices for care in Japan are set by the national gov for the entire country. There is some regional variances due to a points system for the care fees based on population density and other factors I don’t know.

2 tier sounds to be a shit show everywhere. Public HC cannot be accountable via general elections unless the public elect independent Minister of Health. Also need some sort of public involvement in system structural design that has no political ideology or lobbyist involvement (citizens assembly?)

Canadas health system is decline due to premiers that are not actually held to account for failing the health system. We have for profit delivery too. Ultimately elected politician accountability is our failing. Look to Japan or S Korea, their systems are national, faster, & very different.

Spec sheets for brita filters. The white filters reduce chlorine. The blue elite filters will reduce a lot of stuff including asbestos, if asbestos water mains supply one’s water. It’s good to know what’s in your water before filtering, can remove the minerals needed too.

Seems more and more likely Canadians would benefit from a national non-profit grocery co-op. I’m not buying that there are no savings to be had by having a non-profit grocery co-op with this kind of growth of a national for profit grocery chain.

‼️Surveillance in the UK reaches a new level as the government plans to enforce PASSPORT ID checks on social media. 😡 What happened to anonymity & a free, open web? Worryingly, this is a growing trend, which must be stopped. 💪 More: tuta.com/blog/age-ver...
Big Brother Watch’s Maya Thomas Comments on the UK government’s plans to enforce passport ID checks on social media: “This proposal would tie every social media account, including everything we post, comment or search for, to a government ID.”“It would spell the
death of whistleblower, dissident and similar anonymous accounts that enrich democracy, and severely widen the scope for invasive social media surveillance.”

Bill C-233 was defeated 295–22 by Liberal MPs on 11/3 before it could reach committee. Liberal Sean Casey was later removed as Parliamentary Secretary after supporting it. Why does Canada still have loopholes in its arms-export regime? Watch former Canadian Ambassador to the UN Allan Rock explain.

It’s not good. Keep no fault and have more robust public oversight for how the system works. I say a citizens assembly like group every 2 years to vote on major issues. The public should decide how much coverage because it impacts the cost and support after events.

Not the usual fare for the Financial Post. I make the case why I think we *are* in a productivity crisis, one that has been predicted for over 40 years; but not for the reasons we thought. And the fix won't come from where we thought either.

Public healthcare needs both MP & MLA accountability act with real teeth. Japan strips pensions from elected if they fail bad enough. Politicians need Health authorities to say everything is fine to help election. Gov’s hide system failure behind the CMPA (private investors dream) = coverup culture
