Why are we funding for-profit facilities when we have buildings falling apart? Every day things are mismanaged it’s guaranteed things will only worsen.

"'He yells,' said one MP (...). 'He punches down at caucus all the time.'"

This is pretty unsurprising based on various reports on some of Carney's behind-the-scenes behaviour since day one, but it's still really off-putting to read.

Great reporting from @althiaraj. She's killing it.

Today is Day 972 of Israel's genocide of the Palestinians

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

if you oppose israel as a politician or a public figure, a lot of political operatives & mainstream publications will actively try to humiliate & make a lesson out of you. just remain steadfast and remember, no amount of manufactured outrage will wash the blood off their hands.

Let’s keep in mind that the only reason we’re even having this stupid, divisive referendum is because Danielle Smith, for her own selfish political reasons, wanted to pander to her separatist base.

Fact: Reporting shows Danielle Smith’s USELESS separatist referendum could cost up to $80,000,000

That **COULD** pay for:

👩‍⚕️ 230 Doctors
👨‍⚕️ 797 Registered Nurses
🏥 2.6 Rural Hospitals
💻 133 CT Scanners

Instead: we get NOTHING but a non-binding election

What a waste

Think about this… so many seniors in nursing homes w dementia and medical reasons for it to be difficult to renew their new license (when they don’t even drive!)

Do they all get kicked off of their HC coverage?

Why doesn't the media talk about the DR of Congo?

We are deeply concerned by Ebola outbreak in Congo

Congo is bleeding, It has not ended over 5 million people are dead and millions especially 40,000 children are in labor camps and cobalt mines around the country

The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy

BC Peace region MLA and avian flu-infected ostrich farm supporter Jordan Kealy has been charged with one count of sexual assault. Kealy's first court appearance is scheduled for July 6 in Fort St. John.

Yes, you read that right.

The UCP rejected the report from the actually independent Electoral Boundaries Commission & struck a committee dominated by their MLAs to draw the maps again.

And those MLAs just appointed a recent UCP donor to work with them.

Shameless. #ableg

BAD NEWS FOR SEPARATISTS!

Alberta’s Support for Danielle Smith’s separation COLLAPSED to just 18%

A new Ipsos poll found NOT EVEN 2/10 Albertans *actually* support leaving Canada…DOWN 10 POINTS since January

Of the 18% support…only 9% are committed

Not even 1/10 😬

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

A “return” to full-scale hostilities?

This is Tyre, two days ago, after days of Israel bombing one of the most densely populated cities on the Mediterranean.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Baytin in the West Bank, setting tens of olive trees on fire.

The Israeli army is blocking fire trucks from reaching the site.

I don’t think the majority of the public believes surgeries that can only be done in hospital(life & limb) should be de-prioritized. But that’s what’s happening. Access based on patient need is not being prioritized at this point… it’s the antithesis of what Medicare should be.
