@Smil3yAngel Excellent - kudos for not smoking!

The UN World Food Programme just announced that its food stocks in Gaza have run out because of the Israeli Government’s blockade — food cannot be used as a political tool.

Palestinian civilians must not bear the consequences of Hamas’ terrorist crimes. The World Food Programme must be allowed to resume its lifesaving work.

Canada stands for international law and has recently committed an additional amount of nearly $100 million to support the UN and other trusted international partners in providing food and humanitarian aid.

We will continue to work with our allies towards a permanent ceasefire and the immediate return of all hostages.

Bruce Springsteen formally endorses Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in a new video where he calls Donald Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

“Hi, I'm Bruce Springsteen. Friends, fans, and the press have asked me who I'm supporting in this most important of elections.

And with full knowledge that my opinions are no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens, here's my answer: I'm supporting Kamala Harris for President and Tim Waltz for Vice President and opposing Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Here's why.

We are shortly coming upon one of the most consequential elections in our nation's history. Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does then at this moment.

It doesn't have to be this way.

The common values, the shared stories that make us a great and united nation are waiting to be rediscovered and retold once again.

Now that will take time, hard work, intelligence, faith and women and men with the national good, guiding their hearts.

America's the most powerful nation on earth. Not just because of her overwhelming military strength or economic power, but because of what she stands for, what she means, what she believes in: freedom, social justice, equal opportunity, the right to be and love who you want.

These are the things that make America great.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for President in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of President ever again.

He doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American.

On the other hand, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all, not just the few like me on top. That's the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years now.

Everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen, but like you, I've only got one vote, and it's one of the most precious possessions that I have.

That's why come November 5th, I'll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

A bipartisan collection of 741 former senior national security leaders, comprised of over 230 general and flag officers including 15 retired four-star generals and admirals, endorsed Vice President Harris.

The group characterized the election as “a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism.”

Much as one’s galled to say it, @acoyne has been right lately more than wrong, and his piece today on what he sees as the defeat of carbon pricing (one hopes he’s wrong on that) is as close to a no-hit ballgame as he’s ever likely to get.

Law professor @robinfhansen1 estimates at least forty-five babies in Canada are unjustly taken from their incarcerated mothers each year. This systemic separation is both a profound failure and a violation of human rights.

Just remember when this election is over that the NY Post published a story about a minor accident with no injuries involving licensed drivers hundreds and hundreds of miles from NY just to stir up animosity against a scapegoat group.

[Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 @andrew_leach]

Opponent: "Carbon taxes are regressive. Poor people will no longer be able to heat their homes."

Me: "Here's a graph showing they're progressive and that almost all lower income households are better off."

Opponent: "see, carbon taxes are just a wealth redistribution scheme.

The other day I took an urgent call from a radiologist about a test, called the patient to go over those results, and then called another specialist to make arrangements for that patient, and then called the patient back to relay all of this.

It took 1.5 hours.
I was paid $34.

When Wyant was an MLA he had the power to deal with homelessness, & chose not to.
The truth is, he thinks pretending to care now will gain him votes. If he REALLY wanted to make chance, he’d stick to being an MLA.

Sorry to interrupt my feed with more Canadian politics.

I just feel that anyone who suggests the Nazis were socialists instead of fascists should be absolutely shunned by voters in any country who fought the Nazis.

They literally rounded up socialists along with Jews.
