@validmavericity We can't stuff the toothpaste back in the tube; our provincial government has stuck us with this shitshow.
But we can get out the vote.
We outnumber the separatists, but it won't matter if we don't vote.
Everyone needs to vote.
We can't afford the usual voter apathy.
The world's richest man is desperately trying to rewrite history regarding his destruction of USAID.
Elon Musk's sudden pivot to damage control proves he knows exactly how devastating his actions were, no matter how much he tries to spin it now.
In his latest gaslighting campaign, Musk claims he only stepped in to ensure there was no fraud, leaning heavily on fabricated narratives about Ukraine and COVID to shield himself from criticism. But the internet remembers everything. We all saw him brag on X about sending USAID to the wood chipper with zero regard for the global fallout.
His malicious cuts dismantled life-saving food, medical, and security infrastructure around the world. A peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet warns that the defunding of USAID will result in a staggering 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million children under the age of five. Hundreds of thousands have already died. They are dying from entirely treatable conditions like malnutrition, malaria, and a lack of HIV medication because PEPFAR and global health networks were frozen overnight.
Naturally, given the chaotic nature of humanitarian crises, it is impossible to audit every single one of these deaths in real time. But while the precise statistics will be debated by academics for years, the big picture is inescapable: when you suddenly choke off medicine and food to millions of vulnerable people, catastrophic suffering and a massive loss of life are the inevitable result.
No amount of whitewashing by Musk will change the facts, and history will remember him for the lives he destroyed
🚨PROOF: I just went to the Reflecting Pool myself after Donald Trump claimed vandals cut a massive 300-foot slit through it.
I walked every inch. I looked. I filmed. I found ZERO evidence of the damage he described.
Trump should have to pay to fix this mess, not taxpayers.
That Trump is willing to let people stay homeless in order to get his election rigging bill passed is the least surprising thing that's happened in Washington this month.
The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.
RFK Jr has announced that there will be no more testing for measles, as measles cases surge in America, proving that one way or another the Republicans are going to make sure that guns are not the number one killer of children in America.
Thanks to Trump and his “Big Beautiful Bill,” student loan payments will go up as much as $4,000 a year starting July 1st.
While billionaires get massive tax breaks, working people will be defaulting on their debts.
Unacceptable.
Why isn't anyone investigating the murder of a fireman at 47's rally? Oh, yeah.. Trump shut it down and their people think an ear heals from a gunshot wound without a mark in 19 days.
WHO THE HELL chooses NOT to investigate their OWN assassination attempt?
Congress passed a bipartisan bill to make it easier to own a home.
The President is refusing to sign it.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about lowering costs for you.
Wow. Donald Trump is holding affordable housing hostage until Congress passes his voter suppression bill.
He is literally delaying help for families struggling to afford a home in order to make it harder for married women and Black Americans to vote.
He is a sick man!
@Reil76 Unfortunately, for certain sectors of the population, communism, socialism, and fascism have become interchangeable scare words for anything they don’t like or understand.
I’m going to break down the communism reply all you meatheads like to use, so that you can understand it, hopefully.
Calling someone “a communist” because you disagree with one policy position is just stupidity.
Communism is a specific economic system: collective ownership of the means of production, abolition of private property, command economy. It’s not a synonym for “government program I don’t like” or “tax I think is too high.”
By that logic every G7 country, including Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, is “communist” because they all have public healthcare, public pensions, progressive taxation, and regulated markets. None of those things are communism. They’re features of mixed-market capitalist economies that every developed nation on earth runs in some form.
If you call someone a communist for supporting universal healthcare, a carbon tax, or a child benefit, you’re not making a political argument. You’re just admitting you don’t know what the word means, and hoping the insult lands harder than the actual policy debate would.
Long story short, it makes you look like an idiot! And we all laugh at you!
TRUMP criticized OBAMA for writing 147 executive orders in one term. Then he wrote 220.
TRUMP criticized OBAMA for playing 113 rounds of golf in one term. Then he played 428.
TRUMP criticized OBAMA when 12,000 d*ed from H1N1. Over 400,000 d*ed from Covid on his watch.
TRUMP criticized OBAMA for his expensive family vacations. Then Trump spent almost as much in a month as Obama had spent in a year.
TRUMP called OBAMA the most ignorant president in history. In POTUS rankings, though, OBAMA has never ranked lower than 15th from the top, TRUMP'S never ranked higher than 4th from the bottom.
