Here’s AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak last week saying the major projects office — which Carney touted as doing sufficient consultation ahead of naming this oil pipeline in the “national interest” — “don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to First Nations.” TRC day was yesterday.

Carney announces the crude oil pipeline to the West Coast, which will almost certainly drive the orcas there to extinction, is designated in the “national interest.” That means it can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments and Indigenous consultation. He laughs while announcing it.

This grim, gripping report on Canada’s biggest Covid-19 outbreak from the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute should be required reading for all Albertans - and all Canadians. Especially those who’ve decided to forget how deadly and terrifying the early months of Covid truly were.

Parkland Institute is an Alberta-wide, non-partisan research centre situated within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta.

Disturbing, offensive, but perhaps fitting that Carney is seeking (much like far-right groups!) to rehab Sir John A’s reputation into that of a Great Uniter, rather than someone who engaged in horrific crimes against Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants (in part to build this project!)

Albertans who can afford expensive private health insurance premiums or pay thousands of dollars out of pocket, will receive their treatment faster. This is two-tier health care and this recent move is about guaranteeing a market for private insurance companies and for-profit providers.

Carney seems to be arguing that the air in Ontario being entirely smoke isn't his fault. True. But the air being even less breathable than it is now in 30 years will be his fault. You can't continue the actions that are destroying everything while claiming you aren't to blame for anything.

Jason Kenney, a man who once bragged about his role in ensuring gay men couldn’t see their dying partners in hospices during the AIDS epidemic, is trying to tell me how to help families desperate for healthcare improvements: privatization. Lol. Lmao, even.
Jason Kenney responds to my post about him hopefully amplifying reports that Mark Carney might be open to privatizing our healthcare. Kenney wrote:

"The braindead ideology of Canada's left on full and perfect display here
Virtually every health care system in the developed world has universal, public access, but permits various forms of private payment.
The social democracies of Scandinavia and Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, et al.
Canada is an extreme outlier in trying to maintain a rigid state monopoly that prevents innovation, driving desperate Canadians to seek care outside our country.
That's why we are in the top quartile of the OECD on health care expenses, but the bottom quartile on results, e.g. diagnostic and surgical wait times.
But the Canadian left is "horrified" by the idea of adopting aspects of systems with universal insurance that deliver better results at lower cost.
Their message to families desperate for timely care: just keep paying more, and keep waiting longer. Don't you dare step out of line and ask why the French, Swedes, Aussies, or Japanese et al can get faster care at lower cost."

Someone replied to Jason Kenney saying "their role model is Cuba" and Kenney responds "Correct"
