All male group chats are hilarious whenever something serious happens politically. You’ll have 2-3 ppl who actually care & are educated enough to have thoughtful discussions. Then you’ll have the rest of the chat who barely read at an 8th grade level & only care about sports 24/7
Canada has universal health care but only if premiers uphold it.
In Alberta and Ontario, chronic underfunding and privatization policies under Danielle Smith and Doug Ford have weakened the system.
The outcome is predictable and deadly.
A man’s death in Alberta was sad and tragic, and it should never have happened.
Undermining public health care to push American-style privatization which most Canadians cannot afford puts lives at risk.
One death is one too many. These governments must be held accountable. Smith and Ford should resign.
What the Alberta government just did should worry all Canadians.
When they legislated striking teachers back to work, they went a step further:
They used the notwithstanding clause.
This is part of a worrying trend that could erode all of our rights:
I’m pretty sure Ford knew he’d make the situation worse for Canada and Carney. Because he knows how volatile Trump is. Don’t let Ford fool you. He just screwed Canada over under the pretence of fighting for hardworking Canadians. He intentionally gave Trump a reason to retaliate.
Premier Ford is a jobs disaster. Telecommunications workers from USW1944 are going to lose their jobs Friday when Rogers/Ericsson offshores their work. Workers reached out to Ford for help, and ZERO response. The Premier needs to protect good Ontario jobs- it's time to act!
The same week Doug Ford proposed a historic rollback of tenants' rights in the name of "building more housing," his government abandoned their homebuilding goals.
Almost like his goals have never been homebuilding and always been rent-gouging.
They’re silencing the press, taking over social media, and threatening ordinary Americans with job loss and exile for criticizing government. I don’t know what else to call it... this should be obvious to everyone.
New evidence shows Trump is sowing separatist sentiment in Greenland to facilitate annexation by the US. Can there be any doubt that they’re doing similar things to support separatists in Alberta? https://t.co/7hQz8NUIOj
He's at it again. The first people the Nazis rounded up were the socialists. The Nazi Party was named this way to co-opt the popularity of the socialist movement in Germany. They were far-right Fascists. Pierre Poilievre is spreading literal nazi propaganda.
Flight attendants defied a Section 107 back-to-work order, forcing Air Canada back to the table, and reached a tentative agreement. This sets a powerful precedent: only workers decide when a strike ends—not the federal government or its corporate friends.
Capitalism has no pause button. Every forest is timber, every fish is stock, every breath of air a dumping ground. Infinite growth on a finite planet isn’t just unsustainable, it’s ecocidal design. Collapse isn’t the warning, it’s the business plan.
People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a book. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.
