Without nurses, we do not have healthcare. Full stop.

Nurses in BC and across Canada, including here in Ontario are being pushed to the brink by chronic understaffing, unsafe workloads, burnout, and wages that do not reflect the essential work they do every single day.

They are the backbone of our healthcare system, yet they continue to be undervalued, overworked, and asked to carry a broken system on their backs.

I stand with nurses in BC, Ontario, and every province and territory across this country. They deserve safe staffing levels, fair pay, respect, and real support not applause one day and neglect the next.

If we care about healthcare in Canada, then we need to care about the people holding it together.

Jamil Jivani is quick to lecture people about courage, values, and standing up for this country.

But where is that courage now?

A Muslim family in his own riding is being targeted with racist harassment, conspiracy theories, intimidation, and hate and he has nothing to say.

Nothing.

This is the same Canada his own father came to from Kenya for a better life. The same Canada where families should be able to live in peace, raise their children, work hard, and belong without being terrorized by mobs, lies, and xenophobic garbage.

So where is Jamil Jivani now?

Where is his voice when a family in his own backyard is being publicly targeted and vilified because they are Muslim?

Where is his outrage for the people he was elected to represent?

It’s easy to talk tough when you’re chasing headlines. It’s a lot harder to stand up when it actually matters when members of your own community are under attack.

Silence in the face of racism is not leadership. It’s cowardice.

Clarington deserves better than performative patriotism from politicians who go missing the moment hate shows up at home.

@LAGovJeffLandry you govern the worst-ranked state in America according to the 2025 U.S. News Best States rankings.

-50th in economy
-50th in crime and corrections
-49th in natural environment
-48th in infrastructure
-46th in education
-46th in opportunity
-46th in fiscal stability
-44th in health care

Fix your own State.

You have no business telling Greenland what it should do.

You’re a propagandist and a liar.

[Orla Joelsen @OJoelsen]

The Governor of Louisiana is lying.

The people of Greenland do not want to become part of the United States, and they have made that clear.

The future of Greenland will be decided by the Greenlandic people alone. For now, Greenland is a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Greenland does not trade with Russia. Greenland exports shrimp to China.

Instead of spreading false claims about Greenland, focus on your own state. Louisiana faces serious challenges with infrastructure, education, healthcare, and poverty, etc. Your time would be better spent addressing those issues than commenting on a country you clearly don’t understand.

Respect the facts. Respect the people of Greenland.

Shame on you.

[Sharon McLean @sheshem]

The UCP is handing nearly $100 million of Alberta taxpayers’ money to foreign multinational contractors — Australian and British-owned companies — to run our new disability employment system (ADAP).
Instead of supporting Alberta-based businesses and organizations that actually understand our communities and employ local people, they’re outsourcing to overseas for-profit firms.
This money should have stayed in Alberta. It should have gone to homegrown companies and non-profits that keep dollars circulating in our province and deliver services designed for Albertans.
Prioritizing foreign contractors over local talent isn’t supporting vulnerable people or building a stronger Alberta economy.

A nine week delay in treatment changed this patient's life forever.

She asked me to share her story.

This patient has Crohn's disease and was doing well on a medication that controlled her disease. Then, because of an insurance-related delay, she lost access to that medication for nine weeks.

During that time, she developed a rectovaginal fistula, an opening to form between her intestine and her vagina. She underwent multiple surgeries to try to repair it and they all failed.

She now lives with a colostomy.

This is why I push back when people describe delays in care as administrative issues.

They are patient issues.

By the time a medication is approved, an appeal is reviewed, or a policy is changed, the damage may already be done and the patient’s life might be impacted forever.

You can fix a process but you cannot always undo the harm.

Behind every delay is a person whose life may be permanently changed.

We cannot keep treating timely access to care as optional when the consequences are this real.

@mikep_lbi Glorious morning

[Orla Joelsen @OJoelsen]

The Mayor of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq has just published an open letter addressed to Greenland Energy CEO Robert Price on the municipality’s official website.

“Mr. Price,
The people of Ittoqqortoormiit deserve answers.
After your recent public meeting in our town, many citizens left with the same question:
Who are you telling the truth to?
In the American media you have been promoting Jameson Land as one of the world’s next great oil discoveries. You have spoken about potential reserves of 13 billion barrels of oil. You have appeared in interviews claiming that Greenland could become a major contributor to global energy supplies. You have spoken with confidence, certainty and enthusiasm.

Yet when you stood in front of the people who actually live closest to the area you want to explore, your message suddenly changed.
Now everything was uncertain.
Now you said you do not know whether oil exists.
Now you said more exploration is needed.
Now you said no one can know until wells are drilled.
Which version should the people of Greenland believe?

The Robert Price who tells American audiences that a historic oil discovery is waiting beneath Jameson Land?
Or the Robert Price who tells Greenlanders that nobody knows whether there is any oil at all?
Because both stories cannot be true.
You cannot sell certainty abroad while selling uncertainty at home.
You cannot encourage excitement among investors while asking Greenlanders to accept that the outcome remains unknown.
And you cannot expect trust when your message changes depending on who is sitting in the audience.

What concerns me most is that Greenlanders are expected to carry the risks while others are encouraged to dream about the rewards.
When speaking internationally, you have painted a picture of enormous opportunities. When speaking locally, you repeatedly retreat behind uncertainty whenever difficult questions are asked.
That is not leadership.
That is not transparency.
And it is not how you build trust with a community whose future may be affected by your activities.
The people of Ittoqqortoormiit are not naive. They understand that exploration involves uncertainty. They understand that geology is complex.
What they do not understand is why your confidence seems to rise when speaking to foreign audiences and disappear when speaking to Greenlanders.

You have also made statements suggesting that operations could proceed year-round with few obstacles from weather or nature. Anyone familiar with East Greenland knows that reality is far more complicated than that.
The people who hunt there know it.
The people who fish there know it.
The people who have lived there for generations know it.

So again, I ask:
Are you giving Americans the sales pitch and Greenlanders the disclaimer?
Are you telling investors what they want to hear while telling local people what you need them to hear?
Greenland is not a marketing campaign.
Ittoqqortoormiit is not a backdrop for investor presentations.
And our citizens are not props in a corporate narrative.

If Greenland Energy wants to operate in Greenland, then start by speaking honestly and consistently, regardless of whether you are standing in front of investors in the United States or citizens in Ittoqqortoormiit.
Because trust is earned through truth.
And right now, many people in East Greenland are wondering which version of the truth they are being given.
Who are you misleading, Mr. Price? The people of Greenland or your audience in the United States?
The people of Ittoqqortoormiit deserve an answer.
Sincerely,
Avaaraq Olsen
Mayor
Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq”

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

Country Thunder cannot blame City noise rules that it said, two days ago, would not affect their event.

I was really disappointed to see Country Thunder throw the City and music fans under the bus today by falsely blaming our noise rules for cancelling their concert.

They are plainly trying to take advantage of the noise and misinformation around this and bluntly hoping that you wouldn't look at the facts.

Just two days ago, Country Thunder told CityNews that things were going well and that the City’s noise rules would not affect its event.

This and other articles clearly state that the organizers say the changes won't impact their operations. Their own staff are quoted saying, “Our curfew for our festival has always been 11 p.m.”

So blaming a midnight music cutoff for shutting down your concert that ends at 11 p.m. is absolutely bogus.

Country Thunder was never part of the debate over whether the downtown tents should end at 2am or midnight. In fact, the City actually increased the allowable music volume for Country Thunder this year.

Now, two days after saying things were going great, Country Thunder says sound limits made their event impossible.

Those statements do not line up. Even their statements about construction are easily debunked, because our teams have been working really closely with them for months now.

I am not going to speculate about why they made this decision to so grossly mislead the public. I'm not going to speculate on how the massive rain this weekend was going to impact their sales. And I'm not going to speculate on how the news of their headliner Kane Brown pulling out of concerts was going to impact sales.

But it's crystal clear Country Thunder made a business decision that cannot blamed on the city noise rules. I'm really disappointed for ticket holders, workers, vendors, performers, local businesses, and every music fan who planned to attend.

Calgary supports great events, live music, tourism, and jobs. But the facts matter. And organizers need to be honest with their customers and take responsibility for their decisions.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

For months, the Premier changed the rules for the separatists. Their signatures were not even checked. The court ruled their petition was unconstitutional, but the Premier still gave her separatist allies a referendum.

But when it comes to coal mining on the Eastern Slopes, there are suddenly new rules. Now, it’s considered too late.

This is hypocritical.

[Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas @JeromyYYC]

It's time to cut through the bullshit about the Cowboys tent. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. A few operators do not get to treat neighbours like garbage and damage the reputation of an event that belongs to all of us.

By now you've seen the coordinated smear campaign from out-of-town politicians. They think you're stupid and want you to believe that we're somehow cancelling Stampede by asking the big tents to use the same rules in place at Coachella, Lollapooloza and all the other world class festivals.

That's the first piece of bullshit. We're not talking about Stampede at all. We're talking about a few off-site tents that have been treating their neighbors like garbage.

Here's the truth. In the last few years, the tents were given a special exemption way above and beyond what was in place up until about 2019. People living near these tents were told to call 311 and wait. Their windows shook and broke. Their shelves rattled. Music ran on weeknights until 2 or 3 a.m. They dealt with property damage, public disorder, and excessive intoxication outside their homes.

Thousands of Calgarians raised their concerns. And just like when we repealed blanket rezoning, the city chose to listen to the people rather than answer to the money.

The second piece of bullshit is that Calgary's rules suck compared to everywhere else. In fact, the changes are modest. There's no change on weekends. But on weeknights, concerts now need to wrap up by 1230am. Even with this change, it means that Calgary still allows outdoor music later than anywhere else in North America.

The third piece of bullshit is that this was done last minute. This wasn't a last minute change. The big tents knew in February that their exemption was under review. Cowboys was told again in May. Their exemption depended on managing noise, safety, and impacts on nearby residents. They did not meet that standard.

But what isn't bullshit is that as your mayor I'm fighting for you. I want you to know that a permit is not a licence to bully a neighbourhood. It is not a profit guarantee. I was elected to stand up for Calgarians, not to take orders from wealthy donors, lobbyists, or politicians protecting their friends.

I am more than happy to seek compromise and work with operators who respect Calgarians. But I answer to the nurse on an early shift, the parent getting kids ready for school, and the worker who needs sleep.

So no. We are not cancelling Stampede. We are protecting it. Stampede succeeds because Calgarians welcome millions of people into our city. That goodwill matters. A few operators do not get to damage the reputation of an event that belongs to all of us.

If you want to do business in Calgary, respect the people who live next door.

Danielle Smith likes to claim she’s all about direct democracy - letting the people choose.

But the truth is, she & the UCP have no respect for democracy or what Albertans actually want.

As her treatment of the Water For Coal petition shows.

Albertans deserve better. #ableg
